Configure Advanced Password Options

You configure advanced password policy options to specify that submitted passwords be pre-processed before validation and storage. Advanced password policies let you assign a priority to a policy, which allows the predictable evaluation of multiple password policies that apply to the same user directory or namespace.

Note: Pre-processing options are optional. You should specify a unique password policy evaluation priority for each password policy that may be assigned to the user directory or namespace.

To configure advanced password options

1. Click the Advanced tab.

   Advanced password policy settings open.

   Note: Click Help for descriptions of settings and controls, including their respective requirements and limits.

2. Specify options to process submitted passwords prior to evaluation and storage in the Password Pre-Processing group box.

   Note: You should specify identical pre-processing options for each password policy that is applied to the same user directory or namespace.

3. (Optional) If the password policy is one of multiple policies that applies to the same user directory or namespace, specify a the password policy priority in the Password Policy Priority group box.

   Note: Evaluation priorities range from 0-999, where 999 is the highest.
