When defining password complexity criteria for local Web Reports users, what is the default minimum...

To define password complexity criteria for local Web Reports users, you need to edit the webreports.cfg file located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\BigFix Enterprise\BES Server\BESReportsServer\wwwroot\cgi-bin directory.1

In the webreports.cfg file, you can set the following parameters to customize the password complexity requirements:2

passwordComplexity: Set to a regular expression that defines the password complexity requirement. For example, (?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,} means that thepassword must contain at least one digit, one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and be at least 8 characters long.

passwordComplexityDescription: Set to a human-readable string describing the password complexity requirement. This string will be shown to the user when a password choice fails the complexity requirements set using the passwordComplexity option. An example password complexity description is “Passwords must have at least 6 characters.”

passwordMinLength: Set to the minimum length of acceptable passwords. The default value is 6.

passwordMaxLength: Set to the maximum length of acceptable passwords. The default value is 256.

After editing the webreports.cfg file, you need to restart the Web Reports service for the changes to take effect.1
