Set System Password Strength

Non-default local users that log in to the fabric are prompted for a password for authentication. With Oracle Fabric OS, you can set the strength of passwords by specifying criteria for the passwords using the set system password-strength command.

Set the following criteria for the minimum number of characters for each of these attributes:

  • Characters allowed for the password string

  • Lowercase letters required for fabric passwords

  • Numbers required for fabric passwords

  • Special characters required for fabric passwords

  • Uppercase letters required for fabric passwords

This feature is supported for local passwords, which are the passwords that allow users to log in to the fabric. The following passwords are not affected by the password strength feature:

  • Oracle Fabric Manager login passwords.

  • Passwords authenticated through AD or another IMS are not supported by this command.

  • The default user admin password (root or admin).

This procedure is for the CLI.

  1. Determine the strategy for password strength.
  2. Set the strength for the password.

    For example, this password for non-default local user accounts must be at least eight characters, and must contain at least three lower case characters, two numbers, two special characters, and one upper case character:

    [OFOS] set system password-strength -min-length=8 -min-lower-case=3 -min-number=2 -min-special=2 -min-upper-case=1
