The password policy is used for logging in to with a system user. This password policy defined 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).
If necessary, adjust the password policy to your requirements in the Designer. For more information about editing password policies, see One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
NOTE: The 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.
To prevent passwords expiring for service accounts, for example, in the Designer, you can enable the Password never expires (DialogUser.PasswordNeverExpires) option for the respective system users.
