I just made the change on one of our small TSM systems and created a few
test schedules. Everything worked fine, even with systems that had very
short passwords.

Re: Min Password Length






Was several TSM versions ago when I did this, but as I recall, when I
set the minimum password length it did NOT cause any problems with
existing clients.  Was enforced on the next password change.

If I set the minimum password length to 8 from 0, will this make clients
with short passwords fail? Or will it simply create longer passwords
when
they expire? I use passwordaccess generate for 95% of my nodes. But, you
just never know when you have hundreds of clients.....

Thanks in advance.
