If you accept the default user store, you define new users and set password policies for these user accounts from within CA Enterprise Log Manager. Using strong passwords helps protect your computing resources. Password policies help enforce the creation of strong passwords and can help prevent the use of weak passwords.
The default password policies provided with CA Enterprise Log Manager provide for a very soft form of password protection. For example, the default policy allows users to use their user name as their password and allows them to unlock passwords. It allows passwords never to expire and does no locking based on failed login attempts. The default options are intentionally set to a very low-level of password security to allow you to create your own, custom password policies.
Important! You should modify the default password policies to match the password restrictions in use at your company. We do not recommend running CA Enterprise Log Manager in production environments with the default password policies!
You can disallow these activities, enforce policies on the password attributes such as length, character type, age, and reuse, and establish a lock policy based on a configurable number of failed login attempts as part of your custom password policy.
