As an administrator, you can ensure a higher level of protection against unauthorized access by setting specific restrictions on internal directory user passwords.
The password policy only applies to users native to your internal directory. It has no effect on users synchronized from LDAP directories or single sign-on identity providers. Similarly, it doesn't apply to passwords that were already set before configuring the password policy.
To configure a password policy for an internal directory:
Go to Administration
> User management.From the sidebar, select User directories.
From the Operations column, select Password policy. Here, you can choose one of the three available options:
No password requirements - the equivalent of having no password policy. This is the default.
Recommended - requires passwords to be at least 8 characters long. This recommendation is made based on the NIST Special Publication 800-63C Appendix A.
Custom - lets you use your own settings.
If you decide on the Custom option for your password policy, make sure to check out the list of available settings below. All these settings are optional and, if left blank, won’t have any effect on the passwords allowed by the policy.
