Configure Security Settings for SDDC Manager by Using the SDDC Manager UI
To configure automatic password rotation, you perform the procedure in the SDDC Manager UI .
If you change the vCenter Server password length using the vSphere Client or the ESXi password length using the VMware Host Client, rotating the password for those components by using SDDC Manager generates a password that complies with the password length that you specified.
Automatic password rotation is currently not supported for ESXi.
SDDC Manager has default password policy settings for automatic password rotation.
