About this task

Identity Manager administrators often set security policies in line with company policy. Some companies require passwords to be regularly reset and sent by email to employees; other companies might allow the user to change their password. Password synchronization can be set to allow a common password to be used on multiple IT resources. However, this solution might not be feasible if different corporate IT systems have different security settings or policies.

To set security properties in Identity Manager, complete these steps:

1. Log in to the administrative console as an administrator.
2. From the navigation tree, click Set System Security > Set Security Properties.
3. On the Set Security Properties page, complete these steps:
   1. Select the check box next to Enable password editing if not checked.
   2. Select the check box next to Enable password synchronization if not checked.
   3. Select the check box next to Set password on user during user creation if not checked.
   4. Click OK.
