The password entered must meet the following requirements for complexity to be accepted
- ▶ The password must have at least x characters (x is defined by the “Security password min length” parameter)
- ▶ The password must contain at least 3 of the following 4 groups: Uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters
- ▷ The password must not have been used the last x times a password was chosen (x is defined by the “Security password deny reuse count” parameter)
- ▶ The password must be re-entered correctly
- ▷ The password must not include the username
The rules marked with a “▶” are constantly checked when the user enters a new password and an icon is shown beside each rule in the dialog boxes. When an “X” is displayed, the security rule has not been complied with. In contrast, a check mark indicates that the rule has been complied with. Items marked with a “▷” first require a response from the server. |
