5.2 Changing a Passphrase Policy

To change passphrase policies:

    For information on how to access the Administrative Management Utility see, Section 1.2, Administrative Management Utility and Section 1.3, Accessing the SSO Plug-In Through iManager.

  2. Click Advanced Settings. The Advanced Settings options are displayed.

  3. Select the Use a passphrase policy check box.

  4. Click Edit Policy. The Passphrase Policy Properties Table is displayed.

  5. In the Setting Description column, click the policy rule you want to edit, then in the Value column, specify the required value.

    For example, if you think that users might find it easier to remember basic rules for all passphrases instead of remembering exactly how they typed a passphrase when they created it, you could require all passphrases to begin with an uppercase character. Set Begin with an uppercase character to Yes and set Maximum uppercase characters to 1.

    By default, passphrase responses are required to contain a minimum of six characters. For security reasons, any passphrase policy you implement must also contain a minimum of six characters.

  6. When you have finished setting the values in the table, click OK. The new values are added to the Value column.

The passphrase policy now applies to all users inheriting configuration from the selected object. You can change or disable it at any time.
