Views
System view
User group view
Local user view
Predefined user roles
network-admin
mdc-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.
Examples
# Configure the password complexity checking policy, refusing any password that contains the
username or the reverse of the username.
