Use the following procedure to enable enhanced secure mode in either the JITC or non-JITC sub-modes.
The enhanced secure mode is disabled by default.
After you enable enhanced secure mode, the system can provide role-based access levels, stronger password requirements, and stronger rules on password length, password complexity, password change intervals, password reuse, and password maximum age use.
After you disable enhanced secure mode, the authentication, access-level, and password requirements work similarly to any of the existing commercial releases.
Note
You can use EDM to enable or disable enhanced secure mode. To configure the security enhancements this feature provides, you must use CLI.
Note
As a best practice, enable the non-JITC sub-mode. The JITC sub-mode is more restrictive and prevents the use of some troubleshooting utilities.
