Enforcement of password controls for local user accounts

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

• Does Watch4net / MnR have the ability to enforce policies for passwords for local users? This case scenario does not involve or use LDAP.

• Password expiry note for LDAP users.

Environment

All supported releases of Watch4Net/M&R

Resolution

• Currently, password expiry day is set to 365 days by default. With MnR 7.7.0.3 and above, this field is made configurable. 

• No password complexity check is available in any version. It is not planned in future versions Watch4net / MnR as well.
