Password policies in One Identity Manager

One Identity Manager provides you with support for creating complex password policies, for example, for system user passwords, the employees' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Password polices apply not only when the user enters a password but also when random passwords are generated.

Predefined password policies are supplied with the default installation that you can use or customize if required. You can also define your own password policies.

Create and edit mail password policies in the Designer or in the Manager. The Designer displays all password policies of the system. You can edit individual password policies, such as password policies for target systems or password policies for the central password of employees, in the Manager.

For more information about password policies for employees, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide. For more information about password policies for user accounts, see the administration guides of the target systems.

Detailed information about this topic

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. You can define password policies for user accounts for various base objects, for example, for account definitions, manage levels, or target systems.

For more information about password policies for user accounts, see the administration guides of the target systems.

Using password policies

You can assign password policies to system user passwords, the employees' central password as well as passwords for individual target systems. Assign a password policy to the base object to which it should apply.

  • The predefined One Identity Manager password policy password policy is assigned to the (DialogUser.Password and Person.DialogUserPassword) system user passwords as well as the passcode of the employee (Person.Passcode).

  • The predefined password policy Employee central password policy is assigned to the employee's central password (Person.CentralPassword).

  • The password policies for target systems are assigned to the password columns of the user accounts.

For more information about password policies for employees, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide. For more information about password policies for user accounts, see the administration guides of the target systems.

NOTE:

  • In the QBMVPwdPolicyColumns view, you define which base objects and password columns are permitted for password policies and the order in which the password policies are to be applied. If necessary, you can add your own references to customize the view in the Designer.
  • If you create new custom tables with password columns, in the Designer, assign the VI.Common.Customizer.PwdPolicyColumnEntityLogic customizer to the table definition.

For more information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

If you want to apply another password policy to the password columns, change the password policy assignment to the base object.
