3.1.2 - AirWatch - Enable 'Require alphanumeric value'

Information

This control determines if new passwords are required to satisfy a certain level of complexity. By default, iOS devices do not enforce a passcode complexity policy, and the default Exchange ActiveSync policy setting applied for users not assigned to a mailbox policy does not require an alphanumeric passcode. The recommended settings are enable alpha-numeric device password.

Solution

From the AirWatch console, open the iOS device profile. Under Passcode verify that Require Alphanumeric Value is checked.
