Password-Control Composition - HP FlexNetwork MSR Series Command Reference Manual

User group view
Local user view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
same-character: Refuses a password that contains any character appearing consecutively three or
more times. For example, the password aaabc is not complex enough.
user-name: Refuses a password that contains the username or the reverse of the username. For
example, if the username is 123, a password such as abc123 or 321df is not complex enough.
Usage guidelines
The password complexity checking policy depends on the view:
•
The policy in system view has global significance and applies to all user groups.
•
The policy in user group view applies to all local users in the user group.
•
The policy in local user view applies only to the local user.
A password complexity checking policy with a smaller application scope has higher priority. The
system prefers to use the password complexity checking policy in local user view for a local user.
•
If no policy is configured for the local user, the system uses the policy for the user group to
which the local user belongs.
•
If no policy is configured for the user group, the system uses the global policy.
You can enable both username checking and repeated character checking.
After the password complexity checking is enabled, complexity-incompliant passwords will be
refused.
Examples
# Configure the password complexity checking policy, refusing any password that contains the
username or the reverse of the username.
