Example: Simple Password Policy

In this example, you want to set up a password policy with the following rules:

• Passwords can be reused. You do not want to keep a history of old passwords.
• A password must be at least eight characters long with at least one numeral.
• If a user's password is ever reset, you want the user to change the password immediately after the first login.
• If a password is not used for sixty days, you want the account to be suspended.

To set up this policy, set the following password rules:

set password-policy = true;
set password-min-length = 8;
set password-numeric = 1;
set password-force-change = true;
set password-last-use = 60;
