The password policy ensures that the DA administrator password is sufficiently
secure.
Rules apply to the password policy:
- The default minimum password length is 6.
- The default maximum password length is 30.
- The legal password characters are:
- 0 – 9
- A – Z, a – z
- Hyphen (-) and underscore (_)
You can override the values of password length by adding
da.sec.passwdMinLength and
da.sec.passwdMaxLength
properties to the
instance.cfg.
- DA server –
$SYBASE/DA-15_5/server/instance/instance.cfg
- DA agent –
$SYBASE/DA-15_5/agent/instance/instance.cfg
For example, to change the minimum and maximum password lengths to 8 and 20,
add:
da.sec.passwdMinLength=8
da.sec.passwdMaxLength=20
