Password Policies with SiteMinder

CA Identity Manager enables you to create basic password policies that manage user passwords by enforcing rules and restrictions governing password expiration, composition, and usage.

If CA Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder, you can create advanced password policies that enable you to define these additional rules and restrictions:

• Directory filters
• Password expiration:
  • Track failed or successful logins
  • Authenticate on login
  • Password expiration if not changed
  • Password inactivity
  • Incorrect password
  • Multiple regular expressions
• Password restrictions:
  • Minimum days before reuse
  • Minimum number of passwords before reuse
  • Percent different from last password
  • Ignore sequence when checking for difference
  • Profile attribute matching
  • Dictionary matching
