Enabling a password policy - BlueCat Integrity - 9.3.0

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.

1. Select the Administration tab. Tabs remember the page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the Administration page.
2. Under User Management, click User Security.
3. Under Password Policy Management, select the Enable Custom Password Policy check box. All password policy rules are displayed.
4. Under Password Policy Rules, set the following rules based on your needs:
   • Minimum Length—specify the minimum password length in integers.
   • Maximum Length—specify the maximum password length in integers.
   • Require Mixed Case—if set, 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 Digits—if set, the password must contain at least one numeric (0-9) character.
   • Require Special Characters—if set, the password must contain at least one special character. For example, ! \"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=> @[\\]^_`{|}~
5. Under Enable Password Update Through API, select the Enable System Password Update through API check box to allow users to update passwords through the API.
6. Under Change Control, add comments, if required.
7. Click Update.
