How do I set password restrictions in ESXi 5

Mcioe — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:34:12 +0000

I would like convert some ESX 3.5 scripts that implemented password restrictions to work on ESXi 5.

In ESX 3.5, I used the esxcfg-auth command which does not appear to be supported in ESXi 5.0, so I need the alternatives. I would like to require the user change his password every 60 days. On ESX 3.5, the command was esxcfg-auth –maxpassdays=60. I would like to know the equivalent command/file for ESXi 5. I also need to do –minpassdays=1. It feels like I should be able to change /etc/login.defs, but I don’t know the parameter names.

I also need to implement the esxcfg-auth –usecrack=3 14 -2 -2 -2 -2 command. I assume I can make some edits to /etc/pam.d/passwd, to get most of these but I’m not sure where the 14 in that example goes. Appreciate any help.
