# create-password-validator

Creates Password Validators.

In addition to the global `dsconfig` options, the `dsconfig create-password-validator` subcommand takes the following options:

* `--set {PROP:VALUE}`

  Assigns a value to a property where PROP is the name of the property and VALUE is the single value to be assigned. Specify the same property multiple times in order to assign more than one value to it.

* `-t | --type {type}`

  The type of Password Validator which should be created. The value for TYPE can be one of: attribute-value | character-set | custom | dictionary | length-based | repeated-characters | similarity-based | unique-characters.

* `--validator-name {name}`

  The name of the new Password Validator.

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

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