Complex passwords

An Administrator can use the Enforce complex password option to require complex passwords for all users. When emergency local login is enabled, an Administrator is required to have a complex password. See Enable complex passwords.

Complex password requirements are enforced when users change their password or create user accounts.

Complex password rules apply only for the local users configured in HPE OneView. For authentication directory service users, the authentication directory configuration determines the password complexity rules.

Complex passwords must contain the following:

  • Minimum of 14 characters
  • Minimum of one uppercase character
  • Minimum of one lowercase character
  • Minimum one number
  • Minimum of one special character. For example, !@#$^*_-=+,.?
  • No whitespace
