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 administrator@vsphere.local -pass 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.
