A.1 Universal Password Policy Settings

If you will enable File Reporter in eDirectory and you have Universal Passwords set up for all users in your tree, do the following before installing and configuring any File Reporter components:

  1. Before installing the Engine, create a new container in eDirectory to store the proxy objects.

  2. Create a Universal Password Policy using iManager.

  3. Make sure that the following settings are met:

    - Number of days before password can be changed: 0 or not set
    - Number of days before password expires: 0 or not set
    - Use Microsoft complexity policy OR
    - Use syntax with the following settings:
    --- Maximum number of characters in password: 36 or greater
    --- Minimum number of unique characters: 1+
    --- Maximum number of times a specific character can be used: NOT SET
    --- Maximum number of times a specific character can repeat sequentially: NOT SET
    --- Allow the password to be case-sensitive
    --- Allow numeric characters in password
    --- Allow non-alphanumeric characters in the password
    --- Allow non-US ASCII characters
  4. Associate the Universal Password Policy with the new container you created in Step 1.

  5. When creating your proxy objects during the installation of the Engine, make sure that you specify the FDN of this container.
