Synopsis

Updates the password complexity policy for NSX Edge nodes.

Syntax

Update-NsxtEdgePasswordComplexity [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-minLength] <Int32> [[-minLowercase] <Int32>] [[-minUppercase] <Int32>] [[-minNumerical] <Int32>] [[-minSpecial] <Int32>] [[-minUnique] <Int32>] [[-maxRetry] <Int32>] [[-detail] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-NsxtEdgePasswordComplexity cmdlet updates the password complexity policy for each NSX Edge node for a workload domain. 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 NSX Local Manager
  • Updates the password complexity policy

Examples

Example 1

Update-NsxtEdgePasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -minLength 15 -minLowercase -1 -minUppercase -1  -minNumerical -1 -minSpecial -1 -minUnique 4 -maxRetry 3

This example updates the password complexity policy for each NSX Edge node for a workload domain.
