Please tell me about the maximum PAM password value.

PAM

[Question]

In PAM's password composition policy, the default maximum length is 16.

Is the default value for Maximum Length in Global Settings 14?

Also, can I assume that this Global Settings setting only affects users who log in to PAM, and not target accounts?

Thanks,

[Joseph Fry]

You are correct.

Target account passwords are governed by a password composition policy.

The password requirements under Global Settings are only used by local* PAM users when setting/changing the password they use to log into PAM. 

* password requirements are not enforced for users who authenticate via LDAP, Radius, or SAML; those systems manage their own passwords.
