ESX Password complexity

By default, ESX use the pam_cracklib.so plug-in to set the rules that users must observe when creating passwords and check password strength during the creation process.

esxcfg-auth --usecrack=<> <> <> <> <> <>

pam_passwdqc.so provides a greater number of options for fine-tunning password strenth and performs passoword strength test for all users.

esxcfg-auth --userpasswdqc=<N0> <N1> <N2> <N3> <N4> <match>
