About configuring a password policy

You can set up and configure a password policy for your organization and associate it to user accounts in the organization from the Applications Manager.

Note: The password policy is set at the enterprise level. You can use policy configurations of any other enterprise through enterprise inheritance.

A password policy is a set of rule configurations. Each rule configuration provides values for the parameters of a rule.

Configuring a password policy broadly consists of the following functions:
  • Defining rules.
  • Configuring rule parameters for implementation and validation.
  • Defining a password policy that implements the defined rules.
  • Setting up secret questions for user authentication.
