   Minimum password length	6 to 24 characters	Specify the minimum number of a configurable password. Passwords shorter than this configured number of characters cannot be configured.

   Account lock threshold	1 to 100 attempts	Specify the number of attempts a user can try to successfully pass password authentication before their account is locked.
