Password Strength and Management for Common
Criteria
The Password Strength and Management for Common Criteria feature is used to specify password policies
and security mechanisms for storing, retrieving, and providing rules to specify user passwords.
For local users, the user profile and the password information with the key parameters are stored on the Cisco
device, and this profile is used for local authentication of users. The user can be an administrator (terminal
access) or a network user (for example, PPP users being authenticated for network access).
For remote users, where the user profile information is stored in a remote server, a third-party authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) server may be used for providing AAA services, both for administrative
and network access.
