Validate A Password Policy When A Subscriber Moves Between Domains; Validate A Subscriber Password - Nortel 5100 User Manual

Validate a password policy when a subscriber moves between
domains
If a subscriber is moved from one domain to another domain, the subscriber's
password is not verified against the new domain password policy at the time of the
move. The password is validated for conformance during any subsequent attempt
to access the Personal Agent (by the subscriber) or any subsequent data change
attempted on the subscriber account by an administrator.
The password policy prevents subscribers from maintaining passwords that do not
conform to the password policy associated with the domain in which they are
assigned (they can actually have a noncompliant password for a while). They can
keep their passwords as long as they do not log on to their Personal Agent
account. If they log on to their Personal Agent with a nonconforming password,
they are directed to the password change page and are not permitted to do
anything on Personal Agent before changing their password.

Validate a subscriber password

A subscriber password is only validated against the password policy when:
• a subscriber attempts to access the Personal Agent
• an administrator attempts to change subscriber data
If of either of these actions occurs, the subscriber's password is verified for
conformance to the current password policy associated with the domain.
