What is hpSwitchMinimumPasswordLength?

This enforces a minimum character length for any new password set for a manager, operator, or local-management-privilege account. An admin raises this value to meet a corporate password policy; the actual supported range is implementation-specific, so the switch's documentation should be checked before relying on the upper bound.
