Configure Password Policies

You can set password policies to ensure that the passwords users create for themselves meet the standards you set and are changed with the frequency you set. Set password policies after configuring the internal user store. Only the EiamAdmin user or a user assigned the Administrator role can set or modify password policies.

Note: CA User Activity Reporting Module password policies do not apply to user accounts created in an external user store.

To configure password policies

1. Log into a CA User Activity Reporting Module server as a user with Administrator privileges or as the EiamAdmin user.
2. Click the Administration tab.

   If you log in as the EiamAdmin user, this tab displays automatically.

3. Select the User and Access Management subtab, and then click the Password Policies button on the left pane.

   The Password Policies panel appears.

4. Specify whether to allow passwords to be the same as the user name.
5. Specify whether to enforce length requirements.
6. Specify whether to enforce policies on maximum repeating characters or minimum number or numeric characters.
7. Specify age and reuse policies.
8. Verify your settings, then click Save.
9. Click Close.

   The configured password policies apply to all CA User Activity Reporting Module users.
