Update-VcenterPasswordComplexity

Synopsis

Updates the password complexity policy for a vCenter Server instance.

Syntax

Update-VcenterPasswordComplexity [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-minLength] <Int32> [[-minLowercase] <Int32>] [[-minUppercase] <Int32>] [[-minNumerical] <Int32>] [[-minSpecial] <Int32>] [[-minUnique] <Int32>] [[-history] <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Update-VcenterPasswordComplexity cmdlet configures 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
• Configures the password complexity policy

Examples

Example 1

Update-VcenterPasswordComplexity -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user admin@local -pass VMw@re1!VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -minLength 6 -minLowercase -1 -minUppercase -1  -minNumerical -1 -minSpecial -1 -minUnique 4 -history 5

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