After the configuration, you can carry out display password-control in any view
to view the password control information for all users, including the
enabled/disabled state of password aging, the aging time, the enabled/disabled
state of the minimum password length limitation and the configured minimum
password length, the enabled/disabled state of history password recording, the
alert time before password expiration, the timeout time for password
authentication, the maximum number of password input attempts, the maximum
number of history password records, the processing mode after failed password
input attempts, the time when the password history was last cleared, and so on.
If a user fails to provide the correct password after the allowed number
login-times, the system adds the user to the blacklist. To view the names and the IP
addresses of such users, carry out display password-control blacklist in any
view.
