CA Identity Manager and SiteMinder Integration Password Criteria

When CA Identity Manager is integrated with SiteMinder and uses SiteMinder’s password handling capability, password policies are obtained from the SiteMinder Policy Store. In this case, construct passwords that meet SiteMinder’s password criteria. The following punctuation characters are the only punctuation characters that meet SiteMinder's password criteria:

'*', '(', '\',',','@','"',':','#','_','-','!','&','?',')','(','{','}','*','.','/'

Important: CA Identity Manager does not impose any restriction on the use of punctuation characters in passwords. However, if you intend to use SiteMinder password capability, we recommended that you construct passwords that meet SiteMinder’s restrictions.
