NDR Sensor CLI

set password-complexity [<complexity-name> <complexity-value>]

Configure password complexity requirements.
  • Minimum password length: minimum number of characters expected in password; user can not set their password of length lesser than this parameter. Default: 12, Minimum: 8, Maximum: 128

  • Maximum password length: maximum number of characters allowed in password; user can not set their password of length greater than this parameter. Default: 128, Minimum: 8, Maximum: 128

  • Lower characters: number of lower case characters (a..z) expected in user password.

    N < 0, to set minimum credit for having lower case character in the new password, i.e. this is the minimum number of lower case characters that must be met for a new password.

    N > 0, to set maximum credit for having lower case character in the new password, i.e. per occurrence of lower case character in password will attribute additional credit of +1 towards meeting the current minimum password length value up to N lower case characters.

    N = 0, to disable the policy check.

    Default: -1, Minimum: -128, Maximum: 128

  • Upper characters: number of upper case characters (A..Z) expected in user password.

    N < 0, to set minimum credit for having upper case character in the new password, i.e. this is the minimum number of upper case characters that must be met for a new password.

    N > 0, to set maximum credit for having upper case characters in the new password, i.e. per occurrence of upper case character in password will attribute additional credit of +1 towards meeting the current minimum password length value up to N upper case characters.

    N = 0, to disable the policy check.

    Default: -1, Minimum: -128, Maximum: 128

  • Numeric characters: number of digits (0..9) expected in user password.

    N < 0, to set minimum credit for having digits in the new password, i.e. this is the minimum number of digits that must be met for a new password.

    N > 0, to set maximum credit for having digits in the new password, i.e. per occurrence of digit in password will attribute additional credit of +1 towards meeting the current minimum password length value up to N digits.

    N = 0, to disable the policy check.

    Default: -1, Minimum: -128, Maximum: 128

  • Special characters: number of special characters (!@#$&*..) expected in user password.

    N < 0, to set minimum credit for having special characters in the new password, i.e. this is the minimum number of special characters that must be met for a new password.

    N > 0, to set maximum credit for having special characters in the new password, i.e. per occurrence of special case character in password will attribute additional credit of +1 towards meeting the current minimum password length value up to N special case characters..

    N = 0, to disable the policy check.

    Default: -1, Minimum: -128, Maximum: 128

  • Minimum unique characters: number of character changes in the new password that differentiate it from the old password. To disable the check, value should be set to 0. Default: 0, Minimum: 0, Maximum: 128

  • Allowed similar consecutive characters: reject passwords which contain more than N same consecutive characters. To disable the check, value should be set to 0. Default: 0, Minimum: 0, Maximum: 128

  • Allowed monotonic sequence: reject passwords which contain more than N monotonic character sequences. Monotonic sequences can be '12345' or 'fedcb'. To disable the check, value should be set to 0. Default: 0, Minimum: 0, Maximum: 128

  • Hash algorithm: sets hash/cryptographic algorithm type for new passwords. Default: sha512. Enum: [ sha512, sha256 ]

  • Password remembrance: limit using a password that was used in past; users can not set the same password within the N generations. To disable the check, value should be set to 0. Default: 0, Minimum: 0

Note, passwords less than 8 characters are never allowed.
