You can use the Web UI or the System Configurations API to enable or disable the password policy.

Using the Web UI

Take the following steps to enable or disable the password policy via the Web UI.
1. Navigate to the System Configurations view by clicking the system configurations icon .
2. Set Password Policy to the desired value.
3. Click Save.

Using the System Configurations API

The following GET operation retrieves the current behavior. The number 6 is the ID of the password policy attribute.
