As an alternative to using the user interfaces of each product, you can use the cmdlets included within the open-source PowerShell module for VMware Cloud Foundation Password Management, `VMware.CloudFoundation.PasswordManagement`, to report and configure the password policy settings across your VMware Cloud Foundation instance.

With these cmdlets, you can perform the following actions on a VMware Cloud Foundation instance or a specific workload domain:

  • Generate a password policy report for password expiration, password complexity, and account lockout.

  • Generate a password policy report with configuration drift using a password policy configuration file.

  • Generate a password rotation report for accounts managed by SDDC Manager.

  • Update the password polices using a password policy configuration file.
