A Linux system administrator wants to enforce strong password policies on the system. They plan to implement password complexity requirements that include a minimum length of 10 characters, at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and at least one digit or special character. Which of the following tools should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
Use the passwd
command to enforce stronger passwords when users change their passwords next time.
Configure the PAM module pam_pwquality.so
to include password strength requirements in /etc/security/pwquality.conf
or similar.
Use the chage
command to set password expiration and enforce the new strong password policy.
Edit the /etc/login.defs
file to include the minimum length password requirement without parameters for complexity.
