User Properties
Username (Read-only) Active username for accessing the system. The Cisco MGM username must
contain between six and twelve alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). Alphabetic
characters are case-sensitive. The username must be unique in Cisco MGM and cannot
contain a space or a special character.
Note Once the username is set, it cannot be changed without deleting the user.
User
Password
Login password used to access the system. The password complexity is configurable in
the Control Panel > Security Properties pane. By default, the user password must:
• Contain at least six characters, but not more than 12 characters.
• Contain at least two alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z). Of the alphabetic characters, at
least one must be uppercase and one must be lowercase.
• Contain at least one numeric character (0-9).
• Contain at least one special character (+ # % , . ; & !).
• Not contain the username or any circular shift of the username. An uppercase letter
and its corresponding lowercase letter are considered equivalent. For example, if the
username is Arthur, the password cannot contain the string arthur, rthura, thurar,
hurart, urarth, or rarthu.
• Differ from the old password by at least three characters. For example, if the old
password is MikeBrady5!, the new password cannot be mikebrady5% because only
the last character is different. However, the new password MikeBrady2!99 is
acceptable because it differs from MikeBrady5! by three characters.
Note By default, the minimum time between password changes is 20 days. The new
password must differ from the previous password by 3 characters, and the new
password is compared against the previous 5 passwords.
