Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x Security Configuration Guide
Authentication configuration
Local passwords must meet specific requirements.
NOTE: For LDAP users, the requirements are defined by the authenticating server according to the organization's user policy.
User authentication is initially configured during PowerFlex installation, and users can be added and removed later, using the PowerFlex CLI (and only by a privileged user). The MDM and LIA passwords must meet the following criteria:
- Include at least 3 of the following 4 groups: [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9], special characters (!@#$ …)
- Contain between 6 and 31 characters
- No white spaces
NOTE: The ESXi 6 password policy has the following additional requirements:
- Passwords must contain characters from at least three character classes.
- Passwords containing characters from three character classes must be at least seven characters long.
- Passwords containing characters from all four character classes must be at least seven characters long.
An uppercase character that begins a password does not count toward the number of character classes used. A number that ends a password does not count toward the number of character classes used.
For more information, see "Security" and "User Management" in the Configure and Customize Dell PowerFlex.
NOTE: ESXi 6 security policy is disabled.
