The Privileged Account Management password policy is predefined for PAM systems. You can apply this password policy to the passwords of user accounts (PAGUser.Password) of an appliance.

If the password requirements for the appliances are different, it is recommended that you set up your own password policies for each appliance.

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.

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 appliance.

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