Discussion

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.

To meet password policy requirements, passwords need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals.

If the information system or application allows the user to consecutively reuse their password when that password has exceeded its defined lifetime, the end result is a password that is not changed as per policy requirements.

Satisfies: FMT_SMF.1.1/SERVER_CONF_SERVER

Check

Verify the UEM server prohibits password reuse for a minimum of five generations.

If the UEM server does not prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations, this is a finding.
