Host must configure the password history setting to restrict the reuse of passwords

Trung bìnhCấp 1Tự độngvmware

Mô tả

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.
