Enforcing password complexity for mgmt users

[FDDIcent]

I'm using R55 NG AI and I was wondering if there's any easy way to enforce a password complexity scheme for Administrative users? I've poked around a bit in the GUI and CLI and do not see an option.

Thanks,

There isn't anyway that I am aware of it in SMARTDashboard. Even in R65.

For people that want more then simple password then you could hand off to a RADIUS Server and enforce a password policy in there.

A possible idea would be to make the administrators name the same as an AD username and then use IAS in Windows as a RADIUS Server. The IAS RADIUS Server then links into the AD and the AD enforces a password policy.
Saves having to create another user database.

From a Check Point perspective then just define a node for the IAS Server and then define a RADIUS Server object with the node as the Host.
On the IAS Server then define the SMARTCenter as a RADIUS Client and use the same authentication settings to link the SMARTCenter and RADIUS together.

If you don't know IAS then you will need to speak with a Microsoft expert.

Or use certificate authentication and make sure you have the GUI client IP restrictions in place.
