Password complexity allows you to define how complex a password must be. For instance you can force the use of uppercase characters, digits, or special characters.
Before you begin

Procedure

- In the Open field, type regedit.
- Open the hierarchy: and click on InfoShareAuthor.
- To configure password complexity, double-click on the key AuthPasswordComplexityPattern in the right pane of the window, and change the Value data to a regular expression that is VBscript compliant.
For example, the regular expression:
^.*(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%^&+=]).*$ means that the password must contain at least:
- one digit
(?=.*\d)
- one lower case character
(?=.*[a-z])
- one upper case character
(?=.*[A-Z])
- one special character from the characters specified:
(?=.*[@#$%^&+=])
