Strong Passwords
Strong passwords provide more secure local authentication for the
system. Using Strong Passwords, you can specify criteria defining the
format of valid Dominion KX II local passwords such as minimum and
maximum length, required characters, and password history retention.
Figure 66: Security Settings (Strong Passwords)
• Enable strong passwords. Strong passwords require user-created
passwords to have a minimum of 8 characters with at least one
alphabetical character and one non-alphabetical character
(punctuation character or number). In addition, the first four
characters of the password and the username cannot match.
When checked, strong password rules are enforced. Users with
passwords not meeting strong password criteria will automatically
be required to change their password on their next login. When
cleared, only the standard format validation is enforced. When
checked, the following fields are enabled and required:
Minimum length of strong password. Passwords must be at least
8 characters long. The default is 8, but it can be up to 63.
Maximum length of strong password. The default is 16, but can
be up to 64 characters long.
Enforce at least one lower case character. When checked, at least
one lower case character is required in the password.
Enforce at least one upper case character. When checked, at least
one upper case character is required in the password.
Enforce at least one numeric character. When checked, at least
one numeric character is required in the password.
