The default will enforce 3 of the following 4 properties - Uppercase,
smallercase, numbers, special-characters.

Is there a way to enforce all 4 properties.

Enforcing passwords that MUST consist of uppercase letters, lowercase

possible passwords, which in consequence has a negative impact on your
security.
