When CA Harvest SCM is first installed, an initial user is created. This user must add other users who will be accessing CA Harvest SCM. The CA Harvest SCM administrator defines a user's initial password. The administrator can optionally set password policy to define rules for password validation.
If your site uses internal authentication (CA Harvest SCM Authentication), you can log in only if your user name and password are valid login credentials in CA Harvest SCM. If you attempt to log in with an expired password, CA Harvest SCM prompts you for a new password.
If your site uses external authentication, such as Microsoft Active Directory, you can log in if your user name exists in CA Harvest SCM and your user name and password are valid login credentials on the authentication server. If login fails due to password expiration, you are not prompted to change the password; you must change your password by using methods provided by the authentication server. For example, in Microsoft Active Directory, you can modify your password by using Ctrl+Alt+Delete and using the Change Password option.
If your site uses internal authentication and if the password policy defines an expiration warning, CA Harvest SCM issues a warning message indicating how many days remain before password expiration.
If your site uses external authentication, such as Microsoft Active Directory, because the CA Harvest SCM Password Policy is not in effect, you do not get password expiration warning messages.
Note: For information about password policy and external authentication, see the CA Harvest Software Change Manager Implementation Guide.
