Password Settings for Local Administrators
The Password Settings for Local Administrators section allows you to specify additional password
constraints for local administrator passwords. Some of these constraints (password length and character
restrictions) also apply to local users, clusters, and backups. The password expiration and password
history features apply only to administrators. You must have High Access Administrator access control
to make changes to this section.
NOTE:
These settings do not apply to LDAP administrator passwords. LDAP administrator passwords are not
subject to any of the constraints that apply to other passwords on the SKM appliance.
