Cisco WAP150 - Configure Password Complexity; Configure WAP-PSK Complexity

• Merge — Imports the list and adds the APs in the imported file to the APs currently shown in the Trusted AP List.
Step 5 Click Apply.
When the import is complete, the screen refreshes and the MAC addresses of the APs in the imported file appear in the
Trusted AP List.
Configure Password Complexity
Use the Password Complexity page to modify the complexity requirements for passwords used to access the
configuration utility. Complex passwords increase security.
To configure the password complexity requirements follow the subsequent steps:
Step 1 Select Security > Configure Password Complexity.
Step 2 Check Enable to enable Password Complexity.
Step 3 Configure the following parameters:
• Password Minimum Character Class — Enter the minimum number of character classes that must be represented
in the password string. The four possible character classes are uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and
special characters available on a standard keyboard. The default value for this field is 3. The range can be between
0-4 characters.
• Password Different from Current — Check to enable that users enter a different password when their current
password expires. If left unchecked, users can reenter the same password when it expires.
• Maximum Password Length — The maximum password character length is a range from 64 to 127. The default
is 64.
• Minimum Password Length — The minimum password character length is a range from 0 to 32. The default is 8.
• Password Aging Support — Check to enable password expiration after a configured time period.
• Password Aging Time — Enter the number of days before a newly created password expires, from 1 to 365. The
default is 180 days.
Step 4 Click Apply. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
When the Password Aging Time is up, you will be required to access the Changing Password page.
Note
Configure WAP-PSK Complexity
When you configure the VAPs on the WAP device, you can select a method of securely authenticating clients.
If you select the WPA Personal protocol (also known as WPA pre-shared key or WPA-PSK) as the security
method, you can configure the complexity requirements on the WPA-PSK Complexity page to be used in the
authentication process. More complex keys provide increased security.
To configure the WPA-PSK complexity:
