password-character-set
Synopsis |
Specifies one or more named character sets. |
Description |
This is a multi-valued property, with each value defining a different character set. The format of the character set is the name of the set followed by a colon and the characters that are in that set. For example, the value "alpha:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" defines a character set named "alpha" containing all of the lower-case ASCII alphabetic characters. |
Default Value |
None |
Allowed Values |
A character set name (consisting of ASCII letters) followed by a colon and the set of characters that are included in that character set. |

password-format
Synopsis |
Specifies the format to use for the generated password. |
Description |
The value is a comma-delimited list of elements in which each of those elements is comprised of the name of a character set defined in the password-character-set property, a colon, and the number of characters to include from that set. For example, a value of "alpha:3,numeric:2,alpha:3" generates an 8-character password in which the first three characters are from the "alpha" set, the next two are from the "numeric" set, and the final three are from the "alpha" set. |
Default Value |
None |
Allowed Values |
A comma-delimited list whose elements comprise a valid character set name, a colon, and a positive integer indicating the number of characters from that set to be included. |
