o SAFEGUARD AND STANDARD SECURITY
The G07 version of Safeguard and the G06 version of Standard
Security improves the cryptology of user passwords in the NonStop
S-series server environments. The default values of some attributes
are changed to increase the "Out of Box" password security.
If you do not want to adopt the new defaults, you can follow the
regular migration steps for Safeguard. However, if you use Standard
Security alone, you will be impacted by this change.
Attributes specific to Safeguard configuration are:
Attribute Previous Default Value New Default Value
========= ===================== =================
PASSWORD-ENCRYPT OFF ON
PASSWORD-MINIMUM-LENGTH 0 6
Attributes specific to the PASSWORD utility of Standard Security
are:
Attribute Previous Default Value New Default Value
========= ===================== =================
ENCRYPTPASSWORD OFF ON
MINPASSWORDLEN 0 6
PROMPTPASSWORD OFF BLIND
All attributes are applied as each user changes his or her password
only.
For migration and fallback considerations, see the G06.29
Software Installation and Upgrade Guide and the G06.29 Release
Version Update Compendium.
