in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 11 commentsAnswered ✓

I have Oracle Linux 7.6 (Unbreakable) and wanted to configured Password Policy according to my organization therefore I have altered three files 1. Login.defs 2. Pwquality.conf 3. system-auth.

In Login.defs i have changed the value

PASS_MAX_DAYS = 3 PASS_MIN_DAYS = 1 PASS_MIN_LEN = 9 PASS_WARN_AGE 1

Pwquality

minlen = 9 minclass = 2 minrepeat = 2

System-auth

added line after Password sufficient remember=3

Password Policy is implemented but got an error when the user prompt for an error.

login as: user5 user5@10.11.0.58's password: You are required to change your password immediately (password aged) Last login: Wed Sep 15 11:12:36 2021 from lap-4.csaplho.pk
