Please use the vserver cifs security modify command to disable/enable required password complexity for a CIFS server in workgroup mode.

vserver cifs security modify -vserver vserver_name -is-password-complexity-required true
  • If you want the required password complexity for local SMB users to be Disabled
vserver cifs security modify -vserver vserver_name -is-password-complexity-required false
