Fix vMA 5.0 password complexity issue
- Set valid password for vi-admin, for example F0t56otk!# should do
- Login to vMA shell as vi-admin
- Elevate session as root with “sudo –s”
- Run “pam-config –d –-cracklib” (note double dashes on front of cracklib)
- Exit root shell with “exit”
- Change vi-admin password with “passwd” to any password you'd like
Above pam-config command disables cracklib in vMA PAM (pluggable authentication module) configuration, cracklib is a PAM library which is used to enforce Linux, and it this case vMA account password strength.
