##### SUMMARY
Unable to Set Password Complexity requirement to include special characters
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Our organization wants to enforce password requirements upon password resets on the VM. The default password requirement is 6 characters. I have updated that to 14 characters using vm.password.length
However, there is no provision to enforce inclusion of select special characters (like !@#%^&*()-) -- exclude the $
Is there some way to achieve this?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the CloudStack VM password-reset UI and trace how the vm.password.length setting is applied. Check how password requirements are currently validated, then determine how selecting allowed special characters while excluding $ should be represented. Done means password resets enforce the requested special-character requirement consistently.
