Password policies
Password policies define and enforce a set of rules that make passwords more secure by
subjecting all new passwords to global restrictions. The password policies described in this section
apply to the switch-local user database only. Configured password policies (and all user account
attribute and password state information) are synchronized across management modules and
remain unchanged after an HA failover.
In Logical chassis cluster mode, the configuration is applied to all the nodes in the cluster.
The following is a list of the configurable password policies:
• Password strength policy
• Password encryption policy
• Account lockout policy
Password strength policy
Table 8 lists configurable password policy parameters.
