When new user accounts are created in One Identity Manager, the passwords needed to log in to the target system are created immediately also. Various options are available for assigning the initial password. Predefined password policies are applied to the passwords, and you can adjust these policies to suit your individual requirements if necessary. You can set up email notifications to distribute the login credentials generated to users.

Password for logging in to
The password policy is applied for logging in to . 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 password policy is marked as the default policy. This password policy is applied if no other password policy can be found for identities, user accounts, or system users.

Password policy for forming identities' central passwords

The Identity central password policy defines the settings for the (Person.CentralPassword) central password. Members of the Identity Management | Identities | Administrators application role can adjust this password policy.
