Hi Satheesh
as far as I know this is not possible with ez. If you know a bit about PHP have a look at the file \kernel\classes\datatypes\ezuser\ezusertype.php, function validateObjectAttributeHTTPInput. There can see an how the mininum length of the password is checked, so just adapt the code to check for the string length of the username.
