complexPasswordRules

Module: CME-MIB

OID (symbolic): CME-MIB::complexPasswordRules

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.4.1.1.20.2.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: If enabled, the minimum complexity rules will be enforced for all local login passwords and 'User login password required' rule will be enabled.

The complex rules are as follows: must be 8-31 characters must contain at least one number must contain at least one letter cannot contain white space characters cannot be a repeat or reverse of user name no more than 3 of the same characters used consecutively must contain at least 2 of the following combinations: at least one upper case letter at least one lower case letter at least one special character Password and password confirm values must match

If disabled, the lagacy rules are: must be 5-31 characters must contain at least one number must contain at least one letter cannot contain white space characters Password and password confirm values must match

The default value is disabled.

What is complexPasswordRules?

This read-write integer, disabled(0) or enabled(1), when enabled enforces minimum password complexity (8-31 characters, at least one number and one letter, no whitespace, not a repeat or reverse of the username) and also enables the 'user login password required' rule. An admin turns this on to stop users from setting trivially weak local passwords. For example, enabling complexPasswordRules would reject a new password that is all letters with no digit.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.4.1.1.20.2.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CME-MIB::complexPasswordRules

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.4.1.1.20.2.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CME-MIB::complexPasswordRules.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.4.1.1.20.2.5.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> complexPasswordRules.1
