Complexity requirements for local CIFS user passwords

[jbielasz]

Hi,

I would like to adjust complexity requirements (increase minimum length) for local CIFS users.

I cannot find how to modify below complexity setting.

Can someone help ?

clus01::*> cifs security show -vserver svm02 -fields is-password-complexity-required
vserver is-password-complexity-required
--------------- -------------------------------
svm02 true

The password must meet the following criteria:

• Must be at least six characters in length
• Must not contain the user account name
• Must contain characters from at least three of the following four categories:
  • English uppercase characters (A through Z)
  • English lowercase characters (a through z)
  • Base 10 digits (0 through 9)
  • Special characters:

    ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ - + = ` \ | ( ) [ ] : ; " ' < > , . ? /  

Regards,

Jakub

Hi there!

Sorry for the delay on this one - and the bad news.

It's a binary option - either on or off, and cannot be customised. If more complexity is required, it is advised to use domain authentication and enforce it there.

Thanks!

That's what I thought.
