Configuring Password Policies for Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation

Password policies include password expiration policy, password complexity policy, and account lockout policy.

For the Private Cloud Automation for VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution, you configure the password policies for local VMware Aria Automation appliance users.

• Password expiration policy defines the length of time a credential’s password is valid before the system forces a password change.
• Password complexity policy defines the minimum requirements surrounding the definition of an account’s password.
• Account lockout policy defines the behavior of the system when incorrect credentials are used for authenticating to the system.

Note:

You can follow a step-by-step approach by using product user interface or an automated approach by running PowerShell commands that are available in the open source PowerShell Module for VMware Cloud Foundation Password Management(VMware.CloudFoundation.PasswordManagement) available on the PowerShell Gallery.

You can initiate discussions, report bugs, suggest enhancements, and learn about contributing to the project on the GitHub repository.
