Password policy for human-user accounts

Last Updated : Jun 18, 2026 |

Human-user accounts are accounts that require you to enter a password manually to access Avaya Aura® Web Gateway resources. To protect data and prevent unauthorized access to the system, Avaya Aura® Web Gateway provides default complexity rules for human-user accounts. Each password you create for human-user accounts must meet these requirements.

Avaya Aura® Web Gateway enforces the default complexity rules for the following human-user accounts:

  • SSH administration access to Avaya Aura® Web Gateway CLI

  • Keepalived authentication

  • Cassandra database administrator

If your organization requires a different password policy, you can modify the default complexity rules by using the sys passwdrules command.

Note:
  • Avaya Aura® Web Gateway does not enforce complexity rules for the following passwords because they are not configured on Avaya Aura® Web Gateway:

    • Avaya Aura® Web Gateway web administration portal password.

    • System Manager enrollment password.

  • Avaya Aura® Web Gateway does not apply complexity rules for the Keystore password because it is not considered to be a human-user account.
