This tutorial only covers general security tips for CentOS 7 which can be used to harden the system. The checklist tips are intended to be used mostly on various types of bare-metal servers or on machines (physical or virtual) that provides network services.
Security and Hardening of CentOS 7
However, some of tips can be successfully applied on general purpose machines too, such as Desktops, Laptops and card-sized single-board computers (Raspberry Pi).
继续阅读In this guide, we are going to learn how to enforce password complexity policy on CentOS 7/RHEL based derivatives. Our previous guide covered the enforcement of password complexity on Ubuntu 18.04. You can check the same by following the link below;
Similar to our previous guide, we are going to use PAM pwquality modules to enforce password complexity policy on CentOS 7/RHEL based derivatives.
In Ubuntu or Debian based derivatives, we modified the, /etc/pam.d/common-password configuration file. For CentOS 7 or similar derivatives, the /etc/security/pwquality.conf or /etc/pam.d/system-auth configuration file is used.
As our normalcy, make a backup of the configuration file before making changes just in case things go south.
