IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2

Common password issues

The ISAM ESSO password is used to authenticate the identity of the user. The user must be authenticated before the user can access the system. You might encounter issues when you log on with your password or when you change or reset your password.

AccessAgent might not accept your password for any of the following reasons:
You did not enter the correct password.

If you have forgotten the password, request for an authorization code from the Help desk to reset the password.

You did not enter the password in the correct case.

Check if the Caps Lock key is active, and that the characters are entered in the correct case.

Your password is not within the required length.

Password length can be configured by the Administrator. The password length can range from 6 to 20 characters, depending on the preference of the organization. Enter a new password that complies with the password length policy.

You did not enter the same password in the Confirm password field.

When you change the password, enter the same password in both the new password field and confirm password field.
