change SMV user password check

StevenFoo — Fri, 30 Aug 2024 09:33:25 GMT

We have an old box needed to migrate to new box.

The new box is running on ontap 9.13. Old is 8.3,

REPGENGNA::security login> password -vserver REPGENGNA1_SVM -username XXXXXXX

Enter a new password:
Enter it again:

Error: command failed: Password cannot contain the username.

How can we temporary disable this password check ?

We tried the following but it does not work.
vserver cifs security modify -vserver REPGENGNA1_SVM -is-password-complexity-required false

hi,

Before you begin

You must be a cluster or SVM administrator to change your own password.
You must be a cluster administrator to change another administrator's password.

You should change your initial password immediately after logging into the system for the first time. If you are an SVM administrator, you can use the security login password command to change your own password. If you are a cluster administrator, you can use the security login password command to change any administrator's password.

The new password must observe the following rules:

It cannot contain the user name
It must be at least eight characters long
It must contain at least one letter and one number
It cannot be the same as the last six passwords

You can use the security login role config modify command to modify the password rules for accounts associated with a given role.
