[Vengat]

Hi Team ,

Kindly advise me how to apply password policy ?

I have used OpenSSH

I dint enable anything but one of my server automatically expired password and asking new password ? How it is possible ?

Use SAM to look at the user's password restrictions and if there are no specific settings, look at the system's password policy for aging.

Hi,

For password policy....you need to configure /etc/default/security file with below parameters.

PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=3

PASSWORD_PASSWORD_LENGTH=8

PASSWORD_MIN_UPPER_CASE_CHARS=5

PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=3

PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=2

PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=1

Thanks & Regards,
