From VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.x SLES Security Technical Implementation Guide

If SLES for vRealize allows the user to select passwords based on dictionary words, then this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the opportunity for successful guesses and brute-force attacks.
Verify the "passwd" command uses the "common-password" settings. Procedure: # grep common-password /etc/pam.d/passwd If line "password include common-password" is not found then the password checks in common-password will not be applied to new passwords, and this is a finding.
Configure SLES for vRealize to prevent the use of dictionary words for passwords. Procedure: Edit the file "/etc/pam.d/passwd". Configure "passwd" by adding a line such as: password include common-password Save the changes made to the file.
