3.11 Passphrase Policy Properties Table

Organizations and applications often have rules about the content of passphrase, including the required number and type of characters. The Passphrase Policy Properties Table helps to create and enforce these passphrase rules through a passphrase policy, and apply this policy to one or more application logons.

NOTE:You can configure passphrase policies in the Passphrase Policy Properties Table of the Administrative Management Utility, the iManager plug-in, or Group Policy snap-ins.
