| SPR # DSAN5HYQHL | Fixed in 6.0.5 release |  |
Product Area: Server Technical Area: Security Platform: iSeries
SPR# DSAN5HYQHL - This fix allows an existing ID file password to be less than 5 characters. Prior to this fix, an error would be displayed telling the user " Length of PASSWORD is less than the minimum password length.: ". The id file was transferred to the iSeries IFS via FTP. Ownership of the id was changed but the error message still displayed. The Administrator could use the following workarounds: Use a 5250 emulation session and the Domino OS/400 command, CFGDOMSVR, to configure the Domino server. 2. Use the Domino Administrator client to change the password on the cert and administrator id files to meet the minimum requirement of five.
