Password Policy

918 bytes added, 11:54, 18 July 2013
Added the Password Activation Settings section but needs further editing - Default Security Code??
If you need to translate the '''Custom Password Policy Description''' message you can use [[sslogic]]. It is often easiest to use [[System Variables]] for these. Example:
<!--@sslogic('@langid@'='2')--><br>@system.Password Policy - French@<!--@else--><br>@system.Password Policy@<!--@end-->
 
===Hierarchical Password Policy===
A different password policy can be defined for each company which will automatically apply to all sub-companies in the [[Creating_an_Organization_Chart_and_Company_Hierarchy|hierarchy]],
unless they have defined their own password policy. When viewing a company in your hierarchy, select '''Settings > Password Policy''' to define. If there are no password policies defined for a company or the companies above it in the hierarchy, the password policy set in [[Global_Settings|Global Settings]] will apply.
 
==New Password Settings==
* '''Password History Check''' - You can set the number of previous passwords (to a maximum of 32) that the system will remember for each user. When changing their password, users will not be permitted to re-use a previous password until the specified number of unique passwords have been used.

* '''Default Security Code''' -
 
* '''Activation link life span''' - The duration that the activation link will be valid. The activation link variable can be used in the "Forgot password" email template using the following syntax: '''http://@url@@activationlink@'''
 
* '''Challenge Questions, delimited by semi-colons''' - You can set a series of challenge questions, all users will be prompted to select a Challenge Question on next login. Their answer will be stored and they will be prompted to enter this answer if they forget their password and click the activation link in the "Forgot password" email template.

'''Note:''' An example of a good challenge question would be something that is simple, memorable, can't be guessed easily, and won't change over time.
 
==Intruder Lockout Settings==
