Discussion

Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.

Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password is, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.

Satisfies: FMT_SMF.1.1/SERVER_CONF_SERVER

Check

Verify the UEM server enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.

If the UEM server does not enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the UEM server to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.
