Enabling Strong Passwords
Forcing users to create strong passwords makes it more difficult for intruders to crack
user passwords and access the ePDU. Strong passwords should be at least eight
characters long and should contain upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special
characters (such as @ or &).
To force users to create strong passwords:
1. Select Device Settings, and then select Security. The Security Settings page
displays. The Strong Passwords panel displays at the bottom of the page.
See Figure 45.
