Random Password Generation

By using the RANDOM option, when prompted for a password, a user can invoke CA Top Secret to generate a random password.

Note: This option only works when the RNDPW facility control option is ON.

Random passwords can be generated by:

• A user requesting a random password, or
• A security administrator instructing CA Top Secret to generate a random password for any user whose password has expired

All random passwords will conform to the designated password masks and will also be checked against the restricted password list.
