Read node authentication policy and password complexity configuration


Returns information about the currently configured authentication policies and password complexity
on the node.
GET /api/v1/transport-nodes/<transport-node-id>/node/aaa/auth-policy
GET /api/v1/node/aaa/auth-policy
GET /api/v1/cluster/<cluster-node-id>/node/aaa/auth-policy

Resets node authentication policy and password complexity configuration


Resets to default, currently configured authentication policy and password complexity on the node.
Administrators need to enforce password change for existing user accounts
in order to match newly configured complexity requirements in system.

reset-all: resets configured Authentication policy and Password complexity


reset-auth-policies: resets only configured Authentication policy

includes - {api_failed_auth_lockout_period, api_failed_auth_reset_period,
api_max_auth_failures, cli_failed_auth_lockout_period, cli_max_auth_failures}


reset-pwd-complexity: resets only configured Password complexity


POST /api/v1/node/aaa/auth-policy?action=reset-all|reset-auth-policies|reset-pwd-complexity
POST /api/v1/transport-nodes/<transport-node-id>/node/aaa/auth-policy?action=reset-all|reset-auth-policies|reset-pwd-complexity
POST /api/v1/cluster/<cluster-node-id>/node/aaa/auth-policy?action=reset-all|reset-auth-policies|reset-pwd-complexity

Update node authentication policy and password complexity configuration


Update the currently configured authentication policy and password complexity on the node.
If any of api_max_auth_failures, api_failed_auth_reset_period, or
api_failed_auth_lockout_period are modified, the http service is
automatically restarted.
Whereas change in any password complexity will not be applicable on already configured
user passwords. Administrators need to enforce password change for existing user accounts
in order to match newly configured complexity requirements enforced in system.
All values from AuthenticationPolicyProperties are in sync among the management cluster nodes.
