It is the responsibility of the Asset Administrator, or a partition's delegated administrator, to configure account password complexity rules.
To add an account password rule
Set the password requirements.
Password Length: Set a range for the password allowable length from 3 to 255 characters. The maximum length must be equal to or greater than the sum of minimum characters required in the following steps. For example, if the password must have 2 uppercase letters, 2 lowercase letters, and 2 numeric characters, the minimum Password Length must be 6.
Limit Consecutively Repeated Alpha Characters: To set the number of repeated lowercase or uppercase letters combined, enter the Max Allowed.
For example, if you set the Max Allowed at 2 then you can not have more than 2 alphabet characters next to each other in the password. Using this example, Ab1Cd2EF is valid but AbC1d2EF is not because it has 3 alphabet characters in a row.

IMPORTANT: Passwords for accounts associated with a password sync group are managed based on the profile change schedule and processed via the sync group. If synchronization fails for an individual account in the sync group, the account is retried multiple times and, if failing after that, the sync task halts and is rescheduled. The administrator must correct the cause of the failure for the sync task to continue. For more information, see Password Sync Groups. |
To add a password reset schedule
Optionally, select Change Passwords Manually.
For more information, see How do I manage accounts on unsupported platforms.
In the Schedule dialog, select Run Every to run the job along per the run details you enter. (If you deselect Run Every, the schedule details are lost.)
To specify the frequency without start and end times, select from the following controls. If you want to specify start and end times, go to the Use Time Window selection in this section.
Hours: The job runs per the minute setting you specify. For example, if it is 9 am and you want to run the job every 2 hours at 15 past the hour starting at 9:15 am, you would select Runs Every 2 Hours @ 15 minutes after the hour.
Days: The job runs on the frequency of days and the time you enter.
For example, Every 2 Days @ 11:59:00 PM runs the job every other evening just before midnight.
Weeks The job runs per the frequency of weeks at the time and on the days you specify.
For example, Every 2 Weeks @ 5:00:00 AM and Repeat on these days with MON, WED, FRI selected runs the job every other week at 5 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Months: The job runs on the frequency of months at the time and on the day you specify.
For example, If you select Every 2 Months @ 1:00:00 AM along with First Saturday of the month, the job will run at 1 am on the first Saturday of every other month.
Select Use Time Windows if you want to enter the Start and End time. You can click add or - delete to control multiple time restrictions. Each time window must be at least one minute apart and not overlap.
For example, for a job to run every ten minutes every day from 10 pm to 2 am you would enter these values:
Enter Every 10 Minutes and Use Time Windows:
Start 12:00:00 AM and End 2:00:00 AM
An entry of Start 10:00:00 PM and End 2:00:00 AM will result in an error that the end time must be after the start time.
If you have selected Days, Weeks, or Months, you will be able to select the number of times for the job to Repeat in the time window you enter.
For a job to run two times every other day at 10:30 am between the hours of 4 am and 8 pm, you would enter these values:
For days, enter Every 2 Days and set the Use Time Windows as Start 4:00:00 AM and End 20:00:00 PM and Repeat 2.
Suspend account when not checked out (supported platforms): Select this option to automatically suspend managed accounts that are not in use. That is, the account on a managed asset is suspended until a request is made for it through Safeguard for Privileged Passwords, at which time Safeguard for Privileged Passwords restores the account. Once the request is checked in or closed, the account is again suspended.
