  • Article

The MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters element is an optional child element of type unsignedByte ([MS-ASDTYPE] section 2.8) of the EASProvisionDoc element (section 2.2.2.28) that specifies the required level of complexity of the client password.

The MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters element cannot have child elements.

Valid values for MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters are 1 to 4. The value specifies the number of character groups that are required to be present in the password. The character groups are defined as:

  • Lower case alphabetical characters

  • Upper case alphabetical characters

  • Numbers

  • Non-alphanumeric characters

For example, if the value of MinDevicePasswordComplexCharacters is 2, a password with both upper case and lower case alphabetical characters would be sufficient, as would a password with lower case alphabetical characters and numbers.
