About Password Policy

Administrators can set requirements for a number of aspects of a user's password.

Note: With the exception of Maximum Password Age, changes to the password policy are not enforced for existing passwords. When you change a requirement for a password, users with existing passwords will not be forced to update their password, but the next time they change their password they will need to use one that satisfies all the current requirements.

Password Policy

1. Password History—The number of passwords that are tracked in a user's password history. Passwords in the password history cannot be re-used when a user changes their password.
2. Minimum Password Age— The minimum number of days a password must have been active before it can be changed. The default is zero (0) and can be as high as ten.
3. Maximum Password Age— The maximum number of days a password can be active before it must be changed. The default is No Expiration, and can be as high as 90 days.
4. Password Expiration Reminder— The number of days before a password expires that PPM should send a reminder message.
5. Minimum Password Length— The minimum number of characters that can constitute a password.
6. Password Requirements— check boxes.
7. Lower case letters—
8. Upper case letters—
9. Numerals—
10. Non-alphanumeric characters—

The password must include least one character from each selected character set.

For example, if you select Lower case letters, Numerals, and Non-alphanumeric characters, the password snowb@ll3 would be valid. The password SNOWB@LL3 would not be valid because it does not contain at least one lower case letter.
