Hello,
Is there any setup that can be used to define rules for internal user password, for example
- Minimum length
- Minimul Capital Letter
- Minimum special caracter
?

Hi Yassine,
No, unfortunately we do not currently offer functionality to enforce a password policy for the users of the native, internal and file realms of elasticsearch. You can keep track of [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/29913](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/29913) which will be updated if we start working towards such a set of features but we do not currently have any planned work items.

Thanks for your feedback
