Set Minimum Length for Passwords

When we create a Repository, Administrator account will be the default account with no password and we can create as many user accounts we need. By default Administrator will not be having any password. We have to set password for user accounts, there is no restriction on password length, i.e password may contain any number of characters.

We can set the minimum length for passwords in the NQSConfig.INI file using the MINIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH setting.

By default, value of MINIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH is 0.
















If you want the minimum length for password is 5, then set MINIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH = 5. 

Note : ensure that the existing passwords length must be greater than and equal to 5. Otherwise login will be failed. So before changing the value for MINIMUM_PASSWORD_LENGTH, make sure that all passwords length is more than or equal to that value.
