Password Pre-Processing Group Box

The Password Pre-Processing group box is where you configure options that determine how passwords should be processed prior to processing and storage:

Do Not Force Case | Force Upper Case | Force Lower Case radio buttons

Specify whether passwords should be forced to upper or lower case before processing and storage. Choose a case forcing option by clicking the Force Upper Case or Force Lower Case radio button. Otherwise ensure that the Do Not Force Case radio button (the default) is selected.

Important! Be careful to ensure that any case forcing option that you specify is consistent with any case-related composition requirements you have defined.

Remove Leading White Space check box

Select to remove leading white space from passwords before processing.

Remove Trailing White Space check box

Select to remove trailing white space removed from passwords before processing.

Remove Embedded White Space check box

Select to remove all embedded white space before processing.

Note: Some user directory implementations automatically strip leading and/or trailing white space from attribute values (in which user passwords are stored) before storing them regardless of the settings you specify in your password policy.
