(in versions v2 r3 through v1 r1)
Title
The UEM server must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used. (Cat II impact)
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, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Satisfies:FMT_SMF.1(2)b Reference:PP-MDM-431021
Check Content
Verify the UEM server enforces password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used. If the UEM server does not enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the UEM server to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.
