Host must configure the password history setting to restrict the reuse of passwords
설명
The goal is to inhibit the reuse of past passwords, acting as a deterrent against potential security breaches stemming from the exploitation of old, compromised credentials. This is achieved by configuring the Security.PasswordHistory parameter, which specifies the number of unique passwords a user must cycle through before a previous password can be reused. The audit reads Security.PasswordHistory with esxcli and requires 5. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.
