Modify Password Policy Restrictions and Account Locking Properties for Local Users
Before You Begin
- The Admin (
a
) role is required to configure the Password Policy properties. - The Password Policy applies only to local user accounts. It has no impact on remote user authentication service accounts like LDAP or Active Directory.
- The Password Minimum Length property, by default, is set to eight characters. When the minimum length is set to less than eight characters, the password policy is considered weak. To ensure greater security, set the minimum password length value from eight to sixteen characters.
- Upon saving changes to the password policy properties, the following
will occur:
- All local user account configurations are deleted from Oracle ILOM.
- The default local user account (
root
) shipped with the system is restored. - On the initial log in of
root
, the root user is prompted to change the root-account-password.
Follow these steps to set a password policy for all local user accounts.
