						Hi all
I have Hp-UX B.11.31
system is converted to trusted mode
the command # /usr/lbin/getprdef -m rstrpw
returns
rstrpw=NO
Actually I think complexity is enbaled, how change this param to Y? (needed for security audit)
The values in the file
/etc/default/security
UMASK=077
ABORT_LOGIN_ON_MISSING_HOMEDIR=1
NOLOGIN=1
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH=8
PASSWORD_MAXDAYS=90
PASSWORD_MINDAYS=7
PASSWORD_WARNDAYS=28
PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH=5
NUMBER_OF_LOGINS_ALLOWED=0
BOOT_AUTH=1
AUDIT_FLAG=1
PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS=1
PASSWORD_MIN_LOWER_CASE_CHARS=2
AUTH_MAXTRIES=6
ALLOW_NULL_PASSWORD=0
(all this changes done through Bustille)
Thanks for help

/usr/lbin/modprdef -m rstrpw=YES
 
Or use smh and select Auditing and Security (NOT the new version), then System Security Policies, then (gets tricky here) tab (not down-arrow) to User-Specified Password Attributes and select: Use Restriction Rules.
 
Then exit from smh and run /usr/lbin/getprdef -m rstrpw to read the new value.
