Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity¶

Synopsis¶

Publishes the password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager.

Syntax¶

All-WorkloadDomains¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -sddcRootPass <String> [-allDomains] [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]

Specific-WorkloadDomain¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server <String> -user <String> -pass <String> -sddcRootPass <String> -workloadDomain <String> [-drift] [-reportPath <String>] [-policyFile <String>] [-json] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity cmdlet returns password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -pass values:

Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to vCenter
Collects password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -sddcRootPass [root_password] -allDomains

This example returns password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager.

Example 2¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -sddcRootPass [root_password] -workloadDomain [workload_domain_name]

This example will NOT return the password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager as the workload domain provided is not the management domain.

Example 3¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -sddcRootPass [root_password] -workloadDomain [workload_domain_name] -drift -reportPath [report_path] -policyFile [policy_file].json

This example returns the password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager and compares the configuration against the policy configuration file.

Example 4¶

Publish-SddcManagerPasswordComplexity -server [sddc_manager_fqdn] -user [admin_username] -pass [admin_password] -sddcRootPass [root_password] -workloadDomain [workload_domain_name] -drift

This example returns the password complexity policy for an SDDC Manager and compares the configuration against the product defaults.
