VMS Help SET, PASSWORD, Qualifiers, /GENERATE *Conan The Librarian |
/GENERATE[=value]
Generates a list of five random passwords. Press Return to repeat
the procedure until a suitable password appears.
Value is a number from 1 to 10 that restricts the length of the
password. For any value n, the SET PASSWORD command generates
passwords of from n to (n+2) characters long.
If no value is specified, SET PASSWORD uses a default value of
6, and generates passwords from 6 to 8 characters long. Values
greater than 10 are not accepted and produce errors.
If your system manager has established a minimum password length
for your account, SET PASSWORD/GENERATE=n compares that length
with the optional value specified with the /GENERATE qualifier,
and uses the larger of the two values. If you do not specify a
value with the /GENERATE qualifier, the account minimum length is
used.
NOTE
If the SET PASSWORD/GENERATE command fails to work properly,
consult your system manager to be sure that either the file
SYS$LIBRARY:VMS$PASSWORD_DICTIONARY.DATA exists, or the
logical name VMS$PASSWORD_DICTIONARY is correctly defined.
