# delete-password-policy

Deletes Authentication Policies.

In addition to the global `dsconfig` options, the `dsconfig delete-password-policy` subcommand takes the following options:

* `-f | --force`

  Ignore non-existent Authentication Policies.\
  Default: false

* `--policy-name {name}`

  The name of the Authentication Policy.

Properties used in options depend on the type of object to configure.

For details about available properties, see [Password Policy](objects-password-policy.html).
