Fix Recommendation

If "dcredit" was not set at all in /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local, run the following command:

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/$/ dcredit=-1/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local

If "dcredit" was set incorrectly, run the following command:

# sed -i '/pam_cracklib.so/ s/dcredit=../dcredit=-1/' /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local

Check Contents

Check that the SLES for vRealize enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used by running the following command:

# grep dcredit /etc/pam.d/common-password-vmware.local

If "dcredit" is not set to "-1" or is not set at all, this is a finding.

Expected Result:
password requisite pam_cracklib.so dcredit=-1 ucredit=-1 lcredit=-1 ocredit=-1 minlen=14 difok=4 retry=3
