Description

The Publish-SddcManagerPasswordExpiration cmdlet returns password expiration policy for an SDDC Manager. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -pass values:

  • Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
  • Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter Server
  • Collects password expiration policy for each local user of SDDC Manager

Examples

Example 1

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -sddcRootPass VMw@re1! -allDomains

This example returns password expiration policy for each local user of SDDC Manager.

Example 2

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -sddcRootPass VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-w01

This example will NOT return the password expiration policy for each local user of SDDC Manager as the workload domain provided is not the management domain.

Example 3

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -sddcRootPass VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-m01 -drift -reportPath "F:\Reporting" -policyFile "passwordPolicyConfig.json"

This example returns the password expiration policy for each local user of SDDC Manager and compares the configuration against passwordPolicyConfig.json.

Example 4

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordExpiration -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -sddcRootPass VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-m01 -drift

This example returns the password expiration policy for each local user of SDDC Manager and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
