Configuring Password Policy Settings
The IEF-G9010 Series provides the following password policy settings to enhance web console access
security:
•
Password complexity
Password complexity settings are used to enforce stronger passwords. For example, you can require users
to create passwords that must be at least eight characters long and must contain a combination of both
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
NOTE
When password complexity settings are configured and a user creates a new password, the system will
determine if the password meets the specified requirements. While strict password policies improve
security, they may sometimes increase the cost to an organization when users create passwords that are
too difficult to remember. Users may call the help desk when they forget their passwords or keep
passwords in easily accessible locations where they are vulnerable to theft. When establishing a password
policy, consider balancing the need for strong security with manageability for users.
