authentication policy enable
Enables the authentication policy for account control.
Syntax
[no] authentication policy enable
Parameters
None
Usage
An authentication policy enables you to define a set of policies to enforce user login behavior and password strength. Passwords are mandatory when account control is enabled.
After you enable the authentication policy, the current passwords for all users expire. At the next login, each user is prompted to change their password, placing the new password under the account control authentication policy.
When account control is enabled and an administrator uses the username password 7 command, the password automatically expires. Because the encrypted password cannot be checked against the configured password policy, the user is prompted to change their password at login.
Example
amnesiac (config) # authentication policy enable
