CLI Description Command

Resets configured password complexity requirements to default


Resets configured password complexity requirements to default.
clear password-complexity

Get CLI account lockout period


Get the amount of time, in seconds, that an account will remain locked out of the CLI after exceeding the maximum number of failed authentication attempts.
get auth-policy cli lockout-period

Get CLI maximum authentication failures


Get the number of failed CLI authentication attempts that are allowed before the account is locked. If set to 0, account lockout is disabled.
get auth-policy cli max-auth-failures

Get minimum allowable password length


Get the minimum number of characters that passwords must have.
get auth-policy minimum-password-length

Get configured password complexity requirements


Get configured password complexity requirements.
get password-complexity

Set CLI account lockout period


Sets the amount of time, in seconds, that an account will remain locked out of the CLI after exceeding the maximum number of failed authentication attempts. While the lockout period is in effect, additional authentication attempts restart the lockout period, even if a valid password is specified.
set auth-policy cli lockout-period <lockout-period-arg>

Set CLI maximum authentication failures


Set the number of failed CLI authentication attempts that are allowed before the account is locked. If set to 0, account lockout is disabled.
set auth-policy cli max-auth-failures <auth-failures-arg>

Set minimum allowable password length


Set the minimum number of characters that passwords must have. The smallest value that can be set is 8.
set auth-policy minimum-password-length <password-length-arg>

Configure password complexity requirements


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.
