How do I verify the password strength compliance

After deploying vCloud Usage Meter, you can verify if a user account password complies with the password strength restrictions.

Procedure

1. Log in to the vCloud Usage Meter console as root.
2. To verify if a user account password meet the security requirements, run the command.

   echo $user-name_user-password | cracklib-check

   If you receive system output like user-name_user-password: OK, your password is considered as compliant.

   If the password is not compliying with the security restrictions, you must configure a new password.
