Passwords

User accounts have a password property. When creating or modifying a user account, the password is specified by the password query parameter.

When you create a tenant, you have the option of creating an initial user account for that tenant. In this case, you use query parameters, including the password parameter, to define that account.

To reset the passwords for all locally authenticated user accounts with the security role, you specify the new password in the resetPasswords query parameter.

When you enable WebDAV basic authentication, you need to specify a username and password. In this case, you use the webdavBasicAuthPassword property of the httpProtocol data type to specify the password.

Passwords can be up to 64 characters long, are case sensitive, and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space. To be valid, a password must include at least one character from two of these three groups: alphabetic, numeric, and other.

The minimum password length is configurable. To set the minimum password length, you use the minimumPasswordLength property of the consoleSecurity data type. For more information on that property, see consoleSecurity.
