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 console as root.
  2. To verify if a user account password meets the security requirements, run the following command. 
    echo $user-name_user-password | cracklib-check

    If you receive the following system output user-name_user-password: OK, your password is compliant with the security restrictions.

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