APM localdb users complex password policy

Dears,

 

I ran into an issue where I couldn't find any possible way (straight-forward) to apply a complex password policy to the Localdb users. I found a couple of articles talking about the same issue however it seems that there is no feature for that, does anyone have a workaround to apply the complex password policy to my Localdb users?

 

below article from 2015 with the same issue:

https://devcentral.f5.com/s/question/0D51T00006i7XdY/apm-1141-local-user-database-password-policy

 

appreciate your response :)

    Looking at the local user db on my system, I don't see an option for setting the password complexity, just an option to force a password change. Honestly I doubt it has that capability, but I could be mistaken.

     

    You might try opening a ticket with F5 tech support if nothing pops up here and (hopefully) get a definitive answer regarding whether that feature exists or not.

     

    Good luck!
