Syntax

Update-SsoPasswordComplexity [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-minLength] <Int32> [-maxLength] <Int32> [-minAlphabetic] <Int32> [-minLowercase] <Int32> [-minUppercase] <Int32> [-minNumeric] <Int32> [-minSpecial] <Int32> [-maxIdenticalAdjacent] <Int32> [-history] <Int32> [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-SsoPasswordComplexity cmdlet configures the password complexity policy of a vCenter Single Sign-On 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 vCenter Server
  • Configures the vCenter Single Sign-On password complexity policy

Examples

Example 1

Update-SsoPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -minLength 15 -maxLength 20 -minAlphabetic 2 -minLowercase 1 -minUppercase 1 -minNumeric 1 -minSpecial 1 -maxIdenticalAdjacent 1 -history 5

This example configures the password complexity policy for a vCenter Single Sign-On domain.
