Description
Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password complexity is one factor in determining how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Special characters are those characters that are not alphanumeric. Examples include: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ *. Satisfies:FMT_SMF.1(2)b Reference:PP-MDM-431022

Check Text ( C-37557r614126_chk )
Verify the UEM server enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used. If the UEM server does not enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-37522r614127_fix)
Configure the UEM server to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used.
