Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordComplexity¶

Synopsis¶

Publishes the password complexity policy for each vCenter Server for a workload domain or all workload domains.

Syntax¶

All-WorkloadDomains¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordComplexity -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> [-allDomains] [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]

Specific-WorkloadDomain¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordComplexity -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -workloadDomain <String> [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordComplexity cmdlet returns password complexity 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 complexity policy for each vCenter Server

Examples¶

Example 1¶

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

This example returns password complexity policy for each vCenter Server for all workload domains.

Example 2¶

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

This example returns password complexity policy for a vCenter Server.

Example 3¶

Publish-VcenterLocalPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -workloadDomain sfo-w01 -drift -reportPath "F:\Reporting" -policyFile "passwordPolicyConfig.json"

This example returns password complexity policy for a vCenter Server and checks the configuration drift using the provided configuration JSON.

Example 4¶

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

This example returns password complexity policy for a vCenter Server and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
