Password Requirements

For more information about these password requirements, contact your server administrator.
The default password requirements provided by webMethods Integration Server are as follows:

Note:  
The use of special characters is regulated by the following restrictions:
*A password cannot begin with an asterisk (*).
*Passwords cannot contain quotation marks ("), backslashes (\), ampersands (&), or less-than signs (<). Use the watt.server.illegalUserChars configuration property to restrict the use of additional characters.
