Description
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that must be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to increase exponentially the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

Check Text (C-283381r1194837_chk)

Verify the minimum password length is 15 characters with the following command: cli% showsys -d Minimum PW length 15 If the line containing the string "Minimum PW length" does not show "15" for the length, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-87851r1194836_fix)

Configure the minimum password length for a value of "15": cli% setsys MinimumPWLength 15 Note: The user must have the "super" role to perform this action.
