config.vpxd.hostPasswordLength

[NDGodin13]

I cant find this parameter or value for this parameter anywhere, I am trying to do the DISA STIG checklist for VCSA 6.7 ( I know the current DISA checklist is for 6.5) However I need to verify at the very least that the value for config.vpxd.hostPasswordLength is 32.  Has anyone seen this?

Hi,

The setting is non-existent in 6.7, you have to create it either via PowerCLI or by using the vCenter GUI. To add the setting to your vCenter advanced settings you can run the following command from PowerCLI -- New-AdvancedSetting -Entity <your vcenter server name> -Name config.vpxd.hostPasswordLength -Value 32

then, you can check the setting by running: Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity <your vcenter server name> -Name config.vpxd.hostPasswordLength | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value 32

Note: take <> off the command.

Note: that the value is set to 32, that is what the stig calls for so you can mark that control as 'Not a Finding' on your stig.
