  • If multifactor authentication is not supported and passwords must be used, the DataPower Gateway must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.

    <VulnDiscussion>Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, ...
