Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To prevent security risks such as account stealing, run the user-password min-len command to raise password strength requirements.

Prerequisites

A local user has logged in to the device as an administrator.

Configuration Impact

After the user-password min-len command is configured, the length of the passwords configured for the subsequent users must exceed the minimum value; otherwise, the users cannot be created or the passwords cannot be modified.

Precautions

This command applies to the passwords in simple text mode only.

If the login password does not satisfy the minimum password length requirements, the system prompts you to change your password. Change your password based on the prompted message.

Example

# Set the minimum length of passwords to 16 in the local AAA server view.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] local-aaa-server
[~HUAWEI-local-aaa-server] user-password min-len 16
