Configuring Password Management Parameters
Configuring password management parameters consists of defining aging, the authentication 
order and authentication methods, password length and complexity, as well as the number of 
attempts a user can make to enter a password.
Depending on the authentication requirements, password parameters are configured locally 
or on the RADIUS or TACACS+ server.
Use the following CLI commands to configure password support:
CLI Syntax: config>system>security
password
admin-password password [hash | hash2]
aging days
attempts count [time minutes1] [lockout minutes2]
authentication-order [method-1] [method-2] 
[method-3] [exit-on-reject]
complexity [numeric] [special-character] [mixed-
case] 
health-check
minimum-length value
The following displays an example of the password command usage.
Example: config>system>security#password 
security>password# aging 365
security>password# minimum-length 8
security>password# attempts 5 time 5 lockout 20
security>password# authentication-order radius tacplus
local
The following example displays the password configuration:
