Create Password Policies

You create a password policy to provide an additional layer of security to protected resources.

To create a password policy object

1. Click Policies, Password.
2. Click Password Policy, Create Password Policy.

   The Create Password Policy pane opens.

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

3. Enter the policy name.
4. Select the user directory to which the policy applies from the Directory list.
5. Specify if the policy applies to the entire directory or part of the directory.

   Note: If the policy only applies to part of the directory, click Lookup to specify the part of the directory that the policy is to apply.

6. Specify the redirection URL in the Redirection URL field:
   • To use the Password Services CGI, specify the following:

     http://<server.company.org>/siteminderagent/pwcgi/smpwservicescgi.exe
     

     Note: The default Password Services CGI path sometimes differs when you set up a custom Password Services directory. The Password Services CGI is deprecated.

   • To use the Password Services FCC, specify the following:

     http://<server.company.org>/siteminderagent/forms/smpwservices.fcc
     

     Note: The Password Services FCC is the default redirection URL. For more information about the Password Services FCC, see the Web Agent Configuration Guide.

   • To use the Password Services servlet, specify the following:

     http://<server.company.org>/siteminderagent/pwservlet/PSWDChangeServlet
     

7. Configure the policy to reflect the password logic you want by configuring expiration, composition, expression, restriction, or advanced settings.
