Password Control Configuration

After the above configuration, you can execute the display password-control 
command in any view to check the information about the password control for all 
users, including the enabled/disabled state of password aging, the aging time, 
enabled/disabled state of password composition policy, minimum number of types 
that a password should contain, minimum number of characters of each type, the 
enabled/disabled state of history password recording, the maximum number of 
history password records, the alert time before password expiration, the timeout 
time for password authentication, the maximum number of attempts, and the 
processing mode for login attempt failures.
If the password attempts of a user fail for several times, the system adds the user 
to the blacklist. You can execute the display password-control blacklist 
command in any view to check the names and the IP addresses of such users.
