About this task

To change a password policy rule, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. From the navigation tree, select Manage Policies > Manage Password Policies.
  2. On the Select Password Policies page, type information about the password policy, service, or business unit in the Search information field, or type an asterisk (*). Select a filter in the Search by field, and click Search.
    Note: If the search for password policies is done by Service, the default Service Owner ACIs limit the search to the password policies in Services that belong to the Service Owner. However, these default ACIs do not limit the search by password policy name. The default ACIs can be modified, or new ACIs can be created to change the search scope for the Service Owner.
  3. In the Password Policies table, locate and select a policy, and then click Change.
  4. On the Manage Password Policies page, click the Rules page. Change or remove the settings for the password rules that you want to use to determine whether a password entry is valid.
    Note: If password synchronization is enabled, ensure that password policies do not have any conflicts. When password synchronization is enabled, IBM Verify Identity Governance combines policies for all accounts owned by the user to determine the password to be used. If conflicts between password policies occur, the password might not be set.
  5. Click OK to save the changes.
  6. On the Success page, click Close.
