Password Requirements
For security purposes, Integration Server places length and character restrictions on passwords. Integration Server contains a default set of password requirements; however, your server administrator can change these. For more information about these password requirements, contact your server administrator.
The default password requirements provided by webMethods Integration Server are as follows:
Requirement | Default |
Minimum length | 8 |
Minimum number of alphabetic characters | 3 |
Minimum number of uppercase characters | 2 |
Minimum number of lowercase characters | 2 |
Minimum number of numeric characters | 1 |
Minimum number of special characters (non-alphabetic and non-numeric characters, such as *. ?,) 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. | 1 |
