User Guidelines
If password complexity is enabled by default, the user is forced to enter a
password that:
•
Has a minimum length of 8 characters.
•
Contains characters from at least 3 character classes (uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters available on a standard
keyboard).
•
Are different from the current password.
•
Contains no character that is repeated more than 3 times consecutively.
•
Does not repeat or reverse the user name or any variant reached by
changing the case of the characters.
•
Does not repeat or reverse the manufacturer's name or any variant reached
by changing the case of the characters.
You can control the above attributes of password complexity with specific
commands described in this section.
If you have previously configured other complexity settings, then those settings
are used. This command does not wipe out the other settings. It works only as a
toggle.
