You can link the password policies to applications by using the SecureLogin application definition command RestrictVariable. With this command, you can apply the password policies to one or more applications, as in the example below.
The following definition restricts the $Password variable to the Finance password policy. The user’s password must match the policy when he or she saves the credentials. When the password requires changing, the application generates a new password based on the policy randomly because Random is included in the definition at ChangePassword.
# Set the Password to use the Finance Password Policy RestrictVariable $Password FinancePwdPolicy # Login Dialog Box Dialog Class #32770 Title “Login” EndDialog Type $Username #1001 Type $Password #1002 # Change Password Dialog Box Dialog Class #32770 Title “Change Password” EndDialog Type $Username #1015 Type $Password #1004 ChangePassword $Password Random Type $Password #1005 Type $Password #1006 Click #1
The following example uses an application definition to restrict the ?NewPwd variable to the Finance password policy. The user’s current password ($Password) is saved and used when the application starts for the first time and prompts the user to enter the credentials.
When the password expires, the password policy is enforced on any new password. Through this means, you can enforce more strict password policies when you cannot guarantee all existing passwords meet the new policy.
