The Password Validation Component Minimum Value 0 The minimum number of characters that  validate_password  requires passwords to have. This variable is unavailable unless  validate_password  is installed. The  validate_password.length  minimum value is a function of several other related system variables. The value cannot be set less than the value of this expression: validate_password.number_count + validate_password.special_char_count + (2 * validate_password.mixed_case_count) If  validate_password  adjusts the value of  validate_password.length  due to the preceding constraint, it writes a message to the error log. • validate_password.mixed_case_count Command-Line Format --validate-password.mixed-case- count=# System Variable validate_password.mixed_case_count Scope Global Dynamic Yes SET_VAR  Hint Applies No Type Integer Default Value 1 Minimum Value 0 The minimum number of lowercase and uppercase characters that  validate_password  requires passwords to have if the password policy is  MEDIUM  or stronger.
