Question

An administrator is creating a new Platform Service Controller Password Policy with the following requirements:

  • Minimum length: Minimum of 8 characters.
  • Restrict use: 6
  • Character requirements: At least one upper-case letter, one number,

and one special character.

  • Identical adjacent characters: 0

When trying to assign the password "P@$$w0rd", the administrator receives an error that the password does not meet the Password Policy requirements. Which part of the Password Policy does this password violate?

Options

  • AMinimum length
  • BRestrict use
  • CCharacter requirements
  • DIdentical adjacent characters

Why each option

The password 'P@$$w0rd' contains two consecutive identical characters '$$', violating the policy that permits zero identical adjacent characters.

AMinimum length

The password 'P@$$w0rd' is exactly 8 characters long, which satisfies the minimum length requirement of 8.

BRestrict use

The 'Restrict use' value of 6 refers to password history reuse prevention and does not apply to a newly created password with no prior history in the system.

CCharacter requirements

The password contains an uppercase letter ('P'), a number ('0'), and special characters ('@' and '$'), fully satisfying all character class requirements.

DIdentical adjacent charactersCorrect

The 'Identical adjacent characters' restriction is set to 0, meaning no two consecutive characters in the password may be the same; 'P@$$w0rd' contains '$$' - two back-to-back dollar signs - which directly violates this rule and triggers the policy error.
