Password Policy Implementation Rules
Rule Policy
Expiry Rules The expiry time is measured in number of whole days. When the
expiry period is reached users are required to update their pass-
word on their next login. The default expiry period is 90 days and
the minimum is one (1) day.
If there are existing user passwords when the expiry is enabled,
the expiry time will be applied from when the password was ini-
tially set by the user. If a password falls outside the new expiry
period the user will be immediately prompted to change the pass-
word.
Local Password policy is only applied to local passwords and
does not apply to remote authentication modes.
When local password policy is enabled it will remain in force
until the feature is turned off.
If the minimum password length is modified and then the pass-
word complexity feature is disabled, the minimum length require-
ment is not updated.
Complexity The password cannot be a palindrome (this requirement cannot
Rules be disabled except by disabling password complexity entirely).
(A palindrome is a word or other sequence of characters that
reads the same backward as forward, such as madam or
racecar ).
The minimum length (enforced) must be at least 8 characters
(this requirement cannot be disabled except by disabling pass-
word complexity entirely).
The password should contain at least one upper case alpha-
betic character (enabled or disabled separately).
