Description
The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password. Satisfies: FMT_SMF.1(2)b Reference: PP-MDM-431018

Check Text ( C-54842r806351_chk )
Verify a 15-character length for local user accounts has been configured: 1. Log in to the Core console. 2. Security >> Password Policy. 3. Verify the Min Password Length is set to 15. If the Min Password Length is not set to 15, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-54795r806352_fix)
Configure a 15-character length for local user accounts: 1. Log in to the Core console. 2. Security >> Password Policy. 3. Set Min Password Length to 15.
