For some password complexity options, you must be aware of the interaction between options.
minimum password length must be at least the sum of min digits in password, min alpha in password, min special characters in password.
min alpha in password must be at least the sum of min upper char in password and min lower char in password.
systemwide password expiration must be greater than password exp warn interval.
For the purpose of the above cross-checks, if Adaptive Server encounters a password complexity option value of -1, it interprets that as a value of 0. If any of the options is not set, Adaptive Server interprets the option value to be 0 as well.
Adaptive Server prints warnings for each new password complexity option that fails to satisfy the cross-checks. Option setting, however, is successful.
