Which panel in the SonicOS management interface is used to set password restrictions?

The correct choice for setting password restrictions in the SonicOS management interface is found under the "Manage > Appliance > Base Settings > Login Security" panel. This section specifically focuses on security settings related to user account management, including password complexity requirements, expiration policies, and lockout criteria.

When managing a network security appliance, having robust password policies is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data. This panel allows administrators to customize these security features in line with organizational policies or compliance mandates. The "Base Settings" category encompasses essential configurations for the appliance, making it a logical location for critical security settings like login security.

While other panels in the SonicOS interface address various aspects of security and user management, they do not specifically encompass password restrictions in the same comprehensive manner as the designated panel for login security. Options that include user management aspects, for example, tend to focus on user permissions and roles rather than in-depth password policies.
