Predefined password policies

You can customize predefined password policies to meet your own requirements if necessary.

Password for logging in to One Identity Manager

The One Identity Manager password policy is applied for logging in to One Identity Manager. This password policy defines the settings for the system user passwords (DialogUser.Password and Person.DialogUserPassword) as well as the passcode for a one time log in on the Web Portal (Person.Passcode).

NOTE: The One Identity Manager password policy is marked as the default policy. This password policy is applied if no other password policy can be found for employees, user accounts, or system users.

For more information about password policies for employees, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

Password policy for forming employees' central passwords

An employee's central password is formed from the target system specific user accounts by respective configuration. The Employee central password policy defines the settings for the (Person.CentralPassword) central password. Members of the Identity Management | Employees | Administrators application role can adjust this password policy.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Employee central password policy does not violate the target system-specific requirements for passwords.

For more information about password policies for employees, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.

Password policies for user accounts

Predefined password policies are provided, which you can apply to the user account password columns of the user accounts.

IMPORTANT: If you do not use password policies that are specific to the target system, the One Identity Manager password policy default policy applies. In this case, ensure that the default policy does not violate the target systems requirements.

NOTE: When you update One Identity Manager version 7.x to One Identity Manager version 9.0, the configuration parameter settings for forming passwords are passed on to the target system-specific password policies.

The Active Directory password policy is predefined for Active Directory. You can apply this password policy to Active Directory user accounts passwords (ADSAccount.UserPassword) of an Active Directory domain or an Active Directory container.

If the domains' or containers' password requirements differ, it is recommended that you set up your own password policies for each domain or container.

Furthermore, you can apply password policies based on the account definition of the user accounts or based on the manage level of the user accounts.

NOTE: One Identity Manager password policies, global account policy settings for the Active Directory domain, and Active Directory account policies are all taken into account when verifying user passwords.

Ensure that the password policy does not violate the target system's requirements.

Using password policies

The Active Directory password policy is predefined for Active Directory. You can apply this password policy to Active Directory user accounts passwords (ADSAccount.UserPassword) of an Active Directory domain or an Active Directory container.

If the domains' or containers' password requirements differ, it is recommended that you set up your own password policies for each domain or container.

Furthermore, you can apply password policies based on the account definition of the user accounts or based on the manage level of the user accounts.

NOTE: One Identity Manager password policies, global account policy settings for the Active Directory domain, and Active Directory account policies are all taken into account when verifying user passwords.

Ensure that the password policy does not violate the target system's requirements.

The password policy that is to be used for a user account is determined in the following sequence:

  1. Password policy of the user account's account definition.

  2. Password policy of the user account's manage level.

  3. Password policy of the user account's Active Directory container.

  4. Password policy of the user account's Active Directory domain.

  5. The One Identity Manager password policy (default policy).

IMPORTANT: If you do not use password policies that are specific to the target system, the One Identity Manager password policy default policy applies. In this case, ensure that the default policy does not violate the target systems requirements.
