Hitachi Global Link Manager Software Installation and Configuration Guide

• When you install Hitachi Command Suite Common Component version 5.1
or later, the user account log function and password complexity check
function will be enabled. These functions are enabled for users of all
Hitachi Command Suite products, so the following problems might occur
in operations of Hitachi Command Suite products that are version 5.0 or
earlier:
¢
A user is unable to log in even with a correct user ID and password.
The user account might be locked. Take appropriate action such as
unlocking the relevant account or registering a new user account.
¢
A password cannot be changed, or a user account cannot be added.
The specified password might not follow the password-entry rules.
Specify an appropriate password, by following the action given in the
output message.
Using a User-Defined File to Specify Security Settings
This subsection describes how to use a user-defined file to specify security
settings for user accounts.
Security Settings Using the security.conf File
The password conditions and settings related to account locking are
implemented from the security.conf file.
The security.conf file is stored in the following folder:
installation-folder-for-Hitachi-Command-Suite-Common-Component\conf
\sec
If you change the settings in the security.conf file, the new settings take
effect immediately. The password conditions that you set in the
security.conf file are applied when a user account is created or when a
password is changed, and are not applied to passwords of existing user
accounts. As a result, even if an existing password does not satisfy the
password conditions, a user can use the password to log in to the system.
The following table lists and describes the items specified in the
security.conf file.
Table 3-14 Items Specified in the security.conf File
No. Property Name Description
1
password.min.length
Specifies the minimum number of characters
that can be set as a password.
Specifiable value: 1 to 256 (characters)
Default: 4
2
password.min.uppercase
Specifies the minimum number of uppercase
letters the password must contain. If you
specify 0, no restriction applies.
