Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

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.
  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. Specify 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 that are 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.
