Enabling password restrictions

To activate password restrictions for network and administrative users, use the following command:
set authentication password-restrict {enable | disable}
When the above command is enabled, the following password restrictions takes effect:
Passwords must be a minimum of 10 characters in length. It should be a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters,
numbers, and special characters, including at least two of each (for example, Tre%Pag32!).
A user cannot reuse any of his or her 10 previous passwords (not applicable to network users).
When a user changes his or her password, at least 4 characters must be different from the previous password.
The password restrictions are disabled by default. When you enable them, WSS evaluates the passwords configured on
the WSS and a list of users with passwords appears, that does not meet the restriction on length and character types.
For example, to enable password restrictions on the WSS, type the following command:
WSS# set authentication password-restrict enable
warning: the following users have passwords that do not have atleast 2 each of upper-case letters,
lower-case letters, numbers and special characters -
administrator
admin
user1
user2
admin2
jsmith
success: change accepted.
