By default, the password policy is disabled. Administrators must enable the policy to enforce the new rules. To enable the password policy, you must set at least one rule.

To enable password policy management:

  1. Select the Settings tab in the sidebar.
  2. Under System security, select User security.
  3. Select the Enable custom password policy check box to enable the custom password policy.
  4. Set the following parameters:
    • Minimum length—specify the minimum password length (integer).
    • Maximum length—specify the maximum password length (integer).
    • Require mixed case—if checked, the password must contain at least one uppercase character and one lowercase character.
      Note: When this rule is set, users must only use European character sets. Languages that don't have the notion of mixed character cases won't meet this rule.
    • Require at least one digit—if checked, the password must contain at least one numeric (0-9) character.
    • Require at least one special character—if checked, the password must contain at least one special character. For example, ! \"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=> @[\\]^_`{|}~
  5. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
  6. Select Update password policy.
The newly configured password policy rules are in effect.
Note: The existing current password will still work to login to Address Manager. The new password policy will be enforced when changing or resetting the password. The new password policy rules will appear as a hint when creating a new user and changing or resetting user passwords.
