Setting Global Password Control Parameters - HP FlexNetwork 10500 Series Security Configuration Manual

Step
2. Enable the global password
control feature.
3. (Optional.) Enable a specific
password control feature.

Setting global password control parameters

The password expiration time, minimum password length, and password composition policy can be
configured in system view, user group view, or local user view. The password settings with a smaller
application scope have higher priority. Global settings in system view apply to the passwords of the
local users in all user groups if you do not configure password policies for these users in both local
user view and user group view.
The password-control login-attempt command takes effect immediately and can affect the users
already in the password control blacklist. Other password control configurations do not take effect on
users that have been logged in or passwords that have been configured.
To set global password control parameters:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the password expiration
time.
3. Set the minimum password
update interval.
4. Set the minimum password
length.
5. Configure the password
composition policy.
6. Configure the password
complexity checking policy.
