Configure the Security Policy

On the Security Policy page, you can enable the password policy and temporary support account.
Password Policy
Enable the password policy for IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud local users. Local users will be asked to change their account passwords regularly for the security of their accounts.
Note: Microsoft 365 and Salesforce users follow the related systems’ password policies.
Complete the following steps to enable the password policy:
  • Navigate to Administration > Security > Password Policy on the left pane.
  • Select the Enable password rotation for local accounts checkbox.
  • Select 30, 60, 90, or 180 days as the lifespan of the passwords.
  • Click Save to save your configurations or click Cancel to go back to the homepage without saving any configurations.

Once you enable the password policy, email notifications will be sent to local users 15 days before their password expiration dates. Users can click the link in the emails to change their passwords. The link will expire in 15 days. If users do not change their passwords before the password expiration date, they can still sign in using their previous passwords. However, they must set new passwords before they can perform any actions in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud.
