Set a
Minimum Password Length
. The higher the minimum length, the
more secure the password since it will be harder to guess.
10
Set the
Passwords to remember
. This is the number of expired passwords
that will be remembered by the system. A higher setting means fixed
passwords are more secure. A setting of 6, for example, will result in the
user having to come up with 7 different passwords before they can use any
one of them over again.
Important: The Passwords to remember feature affects administrator removal/
replacement of fixed password authenticators. You cannot remove a fixed password
and assign the same one to replace it. The user cannot use the same password
again until the number of passwords to remember has been exceeded.
11
Select the
Passwords are case sensitive
check box to make the passwords
case sensitive, and more secure.
12
Passwords that expire often are more secure than those that expire
infrequently, or not at all. To set the expiration life span of this password,
select the
Password will expire
check box, then choose from the following
options:
–
after this many days
refers to the number of days you set in the Max
password age field.
–
with this many warning days
is the number of days lead time a user will
be advised that their password is about to expire.
