Configuring Your Password

Configuring your password before connecting to the client

When you log on to the Application Client for the first time, a Password Confirmation dialog box is dis-
played(only if this has been enabled by the administrator - see
login" on page 20). If you do not see this dialog box, then ignore this section and perform the steps explained
in the next section,

"Configuring your password from the client"

To configure your password before connecting to the client:
1. In the Password Confirmation dialog box, click Reuse to continue using the same password for the same
period as previously configured. To enter a new password, click Configure and perform further steps.
2. Enter the new password in the Type new password field.
3. Re-enter the same password in the Confirm new password field.
4. Enter the number of days you want your password to be valid in Password expiry duration. If no value or
zero is entered in this field, then the password never expires.

The new password is assigned to you and you are connected to the Application Client. You need to use this
new password from the subsequent login.
