Setting Cloud Server Password Quality Level

The quality level of cloud server administrator's (root) password is configurable and can be set to strong or none. By default strong mode is set up. When you apply strong password quality level, this mechanism will not allow the cloud server administrators to use passwords that do not meet the requirements defined for this level. If a password is weak, the error message will be shown. The password checking is performed every time a cloud server administrator enters or changes password.

To learn more how the password quality mechanism works, refer to CloudBlue Commerce Operations Provider's Guide >> Managing Accounts > Configuring Your Account > Managing Passwords > Setting Password Quality section.

To set the password quality level for a cloud server:

1. Go to System > Settings > Security > Setup tab. The Password Quality sub-tab will open.
2. Click Edit to select the desired password quality level. The following levels will be offered:
   • None – no password validation. The user is allowed to make up passwords of any length and character types.
   • Strong – the minimum length for password is 7 characters of different types (uppercase and lowercase letters, numerics, special characters). Avoid using dictionary words, personal information and keyboard sequences.
3. Switch the radio button to the password quality level you wish to apply for the user and click Submit.
