Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity¶

Synopsis¶

Retrieves the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance based on the workload domain.

Syntax¶

Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -domain <String> [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity cmdlet retrieves the password complexity policy of a vCenter Server. 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
Retrieves the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance based on the workload domain

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01

This example retrieves the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance based on the workload domain.

Example 2¶

Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -drift -reportPath "F:\Reporting" -policyFile "passwordPolicyConfig.json"

This example retrieves the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance based on the workload domain and checks the configuration drift using the provided configuration JSON.

Example 3¶

Request-VcenterPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -drift

This example retrieves the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance based on the workload domain and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
