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-37552r614111_chk )
Verify the UEM server enforces a minimum 15-character password length. If the UEM server does not enforce a minimum 15-character password length, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-37517r614112_fix)
Configure the UEM server to enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
