Password Policy for all appliance users

The password policy applies to all LDAP users.

The LDAP user password should:

1. Be at least 8 characters long
2. Contain at least two of the following three character groups:
   • Numeric [0-9]
   • Alphabetic [a-z, A-Z]
   • Special symbols, such as: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + { } | : " < > ? ` - = [ ] \ ; ’ , . /

Thus, your password should look like one of the following examples:

• Protegrity123 (alphabetic and numeric)
• Protegrity!@#$ (alphabetic and special symbols)
• 123!@#$ (numeric and special symbols)

The strength of the password is validated by default. This strength validation can also be customized by creating a script file to meet the requirements of your organization.

From the CLI, press Administration > Accounts and Passwords > Manage Passwords and Local-Accounts. Select the correct Change option and update the password.

You can enforce organization rules for password validity from the Web UI, from Settings > Users > User Management, where the following can be configured:

• Minimum period for changeover
• Password expiry
• Lock on maximum failures
• Password history
