Passwords for Accounts Created by Provisioning Roles

When a user is assigned a provisioning role, account creation for that user fails if the CA IdentityMinder user's password does not meet the endpoint's password requirements. This situation includes creation of a new user with a temporary password.

Therefore, set the password policy to match, or be stricter than, the endpoint password requirements. You can set the password policy by using the CA IdentityMinder Password Policy or the Provisioning Password Profile. If both methods are used, the policies must match.
