The security user control can be enhanced by adding the systemProperties mz.security.user.control.enabled in values.yaml. By default this property is set to false. If set to true a number of rules regarding the passwords apply as soon as the platform is restarted.
Enhanced User Security Password Rules
If enhanced user security is enabled, the default password rules are:
The password must:
Be at least eight characters long
Include at least one special character and one that is either a number or capital letter
The password must not:
Contain more than two identical characters in an uninterrupted sequence. Such as "aaa".
Repetitive characters that are not consecutively sequenced are still valid. Such as "adadad".
Include the username.
Be in alphabetical sequence, such as Abcd.
Be in numerical sequence, such as 1234.
Be in any US keyboard pattern, such as Qwerty.
Contain any whitespace.
Be identical to any of the recent twelve (minimum) passwords used for the user ID
The default maximum password age is 30 days for administrators, i e users that are members of the Administrator group, and 90 days for other users.
