A customized password rule is used for validating
both
new passwords that are generated by Verify Identity Governance Server and
existing passwords.
Before you begin
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
- Create a class by implementing com.ibm.passwordrules.Rule
interface.
- Register the class in passwordrules.properties by
entering a line like the following one:
password.rule.com.ibm.tivoli.itim.CustomPasswordRule1=true
The
value of this expression determines the type of interface widget that
is used to create a customized rule when you define a password policy.
The following values are valid:
- A value of true means that the instantiated
rule object requires a parameter. The widget is a text box. If any
value is entered, a customized rule is used. If the value is optional,
typing in
any printing character marks the rule for use.
- A value of
false means that the rule does not
require parameters. If the box is selected, a customized rule is used.
If more than one parameter value is required, a user-defined
delimiter might separate individual values. Alternatively, the value
might contain a structure that is represented by a user-defined XML
document.
- Optional: Add a
label for the customized rule
name.
The key for the value is the fully qualified name
of the customized class. The specified value is displayed on all screens
that show the password rules
password.rule.com.ibm.tivoli.itim.CustomPasswordRule1=Use
Complexity Level 1. In this example, the required prefix
is followed by the fully qualified name of the customized rule class.
Both parts constitute the entire property key for any customized rule.
Note: If
the customized label is not defined in CustomLabels.properties,
the fully qualified name of the customized Java™ class is displayed on the interface forms.
