Using the RestrictVariable command password policies can be applied to one or more applications. For more information see, Novell SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 Application Definition Guide.
This Application Definition restricts the $Password variable to the Finance password policy. The user’s password must match the policy when they first save their credentials. When the password requires changing, the Application Definition generates a new password based on that policy randomly (no user intervention required).
