Security Commands
1058
A value greater than 0 specifies the minimum number of character class tests
a password must contain. A value of 0 disables checking that the password
contains characters from the requisite number of character classes. Minimum
character class checking validates passwords that contain at lease one
character matching a character class. If minimum character class checking is
enabled, a password must contain at least one character from a minimum
number of character classes to be valid.
Even if the minimum character class checking is disabled, passwords
containing characters from a class must still meet the specific minimum
strength limit for the matching class. If the password only contains characters
from non-configured character classes, the password is considered valid.
If the maximum consecutive characters or maximum repeated characters
limits are configured, passwords must pass these tests regardless of the
minimum character class checking setting.
Example
console(config)#passwords strength minimum character-classes 4
passwords strength exclude-keyword
Use this command to exclude the keyword while configuring the password.
The password does not accept the keyword in any form (inbetween the string,
case insensitive and reverse) as a substring. You can configure up to a
maximum of three keywords. Use the no form of this command to reset the
restriction for a given string or all the strings configured.
