User Guidelines This command is used to enable password character class checking using the parameters set by the following commands: • passwords strength minimum uppercase-letters • passwords strength minimum lowercase-letters • passwords strength minimum special-characters • passwords strength minimum numeric-characters A value greater than 0 specifies the minimum number of character class tests a password must contain. A value of 0 disables checking that the password contains characters from the requisite number of character classes. Minimum character class checking validates passwords that contain at lease one character matching a character class. If minimum character class checking is enabled, a password must contain at least one character from a minimum number of character classes to be valid. Even if the minimum character class checking is disabled, passwords containing characters from a class must still meet the specific minimum strength limit for the matching class. If the password only contains characters from non-configured character classes, the password is considered valid. If the maximum consecutive characters or maximum repeated characters limits are configured, passwords must pass these tests regardless of the minimum character class checking setting. Example console(config)#passwords strength minimum character-classes 4 passwords strength exclude-keyword Use this command to exclude the keyword while configuring the password. The password does not accept the keyword in any form (inbetween the string, case insensitive and reverse) as a substring. You can configure up to a maximum of three keywords. Use the no form of this command to reset the restriction for a given string or all the strings configured. Syntax passwords strength exclude-keyword string Security Commands 1210
