Fix Recommendation

Configure the SLES for vRealize to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used:

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

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

If "ocredit" was set incorrectly then run the following command:

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

Check Contents

Verify the SLES for vRealize enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used by using the following command:

Check the password "ocredit" option:

# grep pam_cracklib.so /etc/pam.d/common-password

Confirm the "ocredit" option is set to "-1" as in the example:

password requisite pam_cracklib.so ocredit=-1

There may be other options on the line.

If no such line is found, or the "ocredit" is not "-1", this is a finding.
