sys passwdrules allows you to review and edit complexity rules for passwords that you use to log in to the virtual machine with the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway OVA using an SSH connection.
If data encryption is enabled, these rules also apply to encryption passphrases.
Shows the server password rule configuration, including default, minimum, and maximum values.

Description
--diff=INTEGER
Number of characters in the new password that must not be present in the old password.
--min-len=INTEGER
Minimum length of the password.
The default minimum length is 15 characters.
--min-digs=INTEGER
Minimum number of digits in the password.
-min-upper=INTEGER
Minimum number of uppercase characters in the password.
--min-lower=INTEGER
Minimum number of lowercase characters in the password.
--min-other=INTEGER
Minimum number of special characters in the password.
Important:
Avaya Aura® Web Gateway supports the following special characters: !, @, #, %, $, ^, *, ?, and _.
--min-class =INTEGER
Minimum number of character classes that must be present in the password. The character classes are:
Digits
Uppercase characters
Lowercase characters
Special characters
--max-repeat=INTEGER
Maximum allowed number of consecutively repeated characters.
For example, if you set this parameter to 3, then the following password is invalid: paaassword, because a is repeated three times.
--max-class-repeat=INTEGER
Maximum allowed number of consecutively repeated characters of the same class.
For example, if you set this parameter to 3, then the pas1sw2or3d password is invalid, because the first three characters, which are p, a, and s, belong to the same character class.
Example
The following is an example of a command that sets the following password rules:
At least 16 characters in total.
At least two digits.
At least one special character.
Other settings are default.
sys passwdrules set --min-len=16 --min-digs=2 --min-other=1
