Restrictions

Passwords must conform to the following standards:

  • The maximum password length is 39 characters.

  • Passwords can include any characters except for spaces.

  • The default minimum password length is 8 characters. Modify this with the set password minimum command.

  • A blank password is only allowed when the minimum password length is set to 0 (zero). To set a blank password (or clear an existing password), include the user name as an argument, and add empty quotes ("") as an argument. For example:

    hpiLO-> add user testuser ""

    [WARNING! ]

    WARNING! Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends setting non-blank passwords for all users.
