Setting System Security Parameters

Setting Minimum Password Length

The Minimum Password Length is the minimum number of digits that a user can specify when setting a Mailbox password. The Minimum Password Length also applies to the System Administration password. The range is 0-15 digits.

The shorter the Minimum Password Length, the more vulnerable the system is to abuse by unauthorized persons. Choosing the longest acceptable Minimum Password Length maximizes the security of the system. The factory-set Minimum Password Length is six digits.

Notes:

If you attempt to set a Minimum Password Length of less than six digits, the system will: Remind you that a Minimum Password Length of at least 6 digits is recommended. Advise you about the system's vulnerability to abuse.

Refer to PARTNER Messaging Planning Form 5 - Security Settings for the Minimum Password Length specified for your system.
