Available from 9.2.7.
If your company has a security policy
for user passwords, or you want to improve the application security, you can configure License Metric Tool to require that user passwords
fulfill the policy requirements.
Before you begin
Starting from application update 9.2.7, user passwords must fulfill the following default
requirements:
- Must be at least 8 characters long
- Must contain at least one lowercase character, one uppercase character, and one digit
If you upgraded from an earlier version and a user password does not fulfill these
requirements, it remains valid until the user changes it. The new password must fulfill the default
requirements. Similarly, if you introduce a password policy, existing passwords that do not meet the
requirements remain valid until the next time they are changed.
Procedure
-
Go to .
-
Define requirements for user passwords.
- To specify the minimal length of the password, set the
user_password_min_length parameter. For
example:
user_password_min_length = 8
- To specify the maximal length of the password, set the
user_password_max_length parameter. For
example:
user_password_max_length = 16
- To set a limit on the number of the same characters that can be used in a row, set the
user_password_max_of_identical_characters_in_row parameter. For
example:
user_password_max_of_identical_characters_in_row = 3
- To specify that at least one special character must be used, provide the list of acceptable
characters in the user_password_special_characters parameter. For
example:
user_password_special_characters = ?!%&
- To specify other requirements such as the need to use at least one uppercase character,
create a regular expression that defines the requirement, and provide it in the
user_password_regular_expression parameter. For
example:
user_password_regular_expression = ^(?=.*[A-Z]).+$
