MPE/iX permits passwords of up to eight characters. The longer the password, the more difficult it is for it to be discovered by trial and error. A minimum length for passwords can be set by the System Manager. This minimum length affects all account, group, and user passwords.

If a user does enter a new password that is too short, the following message is displayed:

MINIMUM PASSWORD LENGTH IS X CHARACTERS LONG.  (CIERR 763) 
  • (where X is the minimum password length, and has a range of 1 to 8).
