Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Applicability

Splunk On-Call

Description

Passwords for Splunk On-Call must meet the following complexity requirements to maintain security and protect access:

 

1. Minimum length of 8 characters

 

2. At least 1 uppercase letter

 

3. At least 1 lowercase letter

 

4. At least 1 number

 

5. At least 1 special character


Investigation

When a password change or login attempt fails, review the password against the enforced policy requirements. Common password issues include missing required character types or insufficient length, with error messages specifying the unmet requirement.


Resolution

Ensure that any new or changed password complies with the policy by including the required character types and minimum length. Use a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters to create a strong password that meets the policy standards
