Define specific password policy definitions

About this task

Steps

To set specific password policy definitions, use this command syntax:

# /nas/sbin/nas_config -password[-min <6..15>] [-retries
  <max_allowed>] [-newchars <min_num>] [-digits <min_num>]
      [-spechars <min_num>] [-lcase <min_num>] [-ucase <min_num>]
  

where:

<6..15> = minimum length of the new password. The default length is 8 characters. The length has to be a value between 6 and 15 characters.

<max_allowed> = number of attempts a user can make to define an acceptable new password before the command fails. The default value is 3 attempts.

<min_num> = minimum number of characters that must be in the new password that were not included in the old password. The default value is 3 characters.

<min_num> = minimum number of digits that must be included in the new password. The default value is 1 digit.

<min_num> = minimum number of special characters (such as !, @, #, $, %, &, ^, and *) that must be included in the new password. The default value is 0.

<min_num> = minimum number of lower-case characters that must be included in the new password. The default value is 0.

<min_num> = minimum number of upper-case characters that must be included in the new password. The default value is 0.

Example:

To set the minimum length of a new password to 10 characters, type:

# /nas/sbin/nas_config -password -min 10
