Question
The administrator of a Cisco Unity Connection system would like to set up a new employee and assign him a password of 123. The system gives him an error when he attempts to save the user. Which two of the following settings sections and features of Cisco Unity Connection should the administrator change to set up the user? (Choose two.)
Options
- AUser Template > Maximum Credential Length
- BAuthentication Rules > Minimum Credential Length
- CUser Template > Check for Trivial Passwords
- DRestriction Tables > Minimum Credential Length
- ERestriction Tables > Check for Trivial Passwords
- FAuthentication Rules > Check for Trivial Passwords

Why each option
The password '123' fails validation in Cisco Unity Connection because it is too short and is considered trivial; both policies are controlled by Authentication Rules.
User Templates do not contain a Maximum Credential Length field; credential length policies are managed through Authentication Rules, not templates.
Authentication Rules contain the Minimum Credential Length setting, which defines the fewest characters allowed for a PIN or password; '123' has only three characters and will be rejected if the minimum is set higher than three.
The Check for Trivial Passwords setting resides in Authentication Rules, not in User Templates, so changing the template would have no effect on trivial password enforcement.
Restriction Tables define call-routing restrictions such as dialing patterns, not credential policies, and they have no Minimum Credential Length setting.
Restriction Tables manage outbound dialing restrictions and do not include any password quality controls such as trivial password checking.
Authentication Rules also contain the Check for Trivial Passwords setting, which rejects passwords composed of sequential or repeated digits such as '123'; disabling this check allows such simple credentials to be saved.
