Account password rules govern the construction of a new password created by SPP during an automatic account password change. You can create rules governing the allowable account passwords, such as:

  • Set the allowable password length in a range from 3 to 225 characters.

    IMPORTANT: The default password length for a macrocosm partition does NOT meet the password requirements for Azure AD. If you are using the Starling Connect functionality with Azure AD, you will need to set the password range between 8 and 225 characters.

  • Set first characters type and last character type.
  • Allow uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and/or printable ASCII symbols along with the minimum amounts of each.
  • Identify excluded uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Identify if consecutive letters, numbers, and/or symbols can be repeated sequentially and, if allowed, set the maximum repetitions allowed.

NOTE: You select an account password rule set when defining a partition's profile. For more information, see Creating a password profile. An account password rule applies to all accounts governed by the profile.

Navigate to Asset Management > Profiles > View Password Profile Components > Account Password Rules.
