Fix Recommendation

In order to change the default setting:

- Log in to Gateway via SSH.
- Open /etc/login.defs.
- Change the value for PASS_MIN_LENGTH to desired value.

Then:

- Change the PASS_MIN_LENGTH field to desired value in the following files:
-- /etc/pam.d/password-auth
-- /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac
-- /etc/pam.d/system-auth
-- /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac

Note: Must be a value of "15" or greater.

Check Contents

Verify the CA API Gateway configuration files for passwords (/etc/login.defs, /etc/pam.d/password, /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac) each have this line:

PASS_MIN_LEN 15.

If the CA API Gateway configuration files for passwords (/etc/login.defs, /etc/pam.d/password, /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, and /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac) do not have the line requiring minimum 15-character password length, this is a finding.
