The default password policy is enforced after installation of the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.

Note: The default policy is not enforced during installation when passwords for the d2cadmin and d2cuser accounts must be specified. For these accounts, as a matter of best practices, you should use passwords that adhere to either the default password policy or the password policy you plan to implement.

You may view the default password policy either through the System Configurations view in the Web UI or by using the Administrator Password Policy API.

The default password policy enforces the following rules.

  • Must have at least 8 characters

  • May not have more than 12 characters

  • Must include at least one upper case letter

  • Must include at least one lower case letter

  • Must include at least one number

  • Must include at least one special character
