Password Policy for API Portal Users
 
Configuring password policy for API Portal Users
A password policy is a set of rules designed to enhance security by encouraging users to employ strong passwords and use them properly. This is configured through the User Management Console (UMC). The password policy compliance is checked in the following scenarios:
*New user signup: When a new user signs up, the password provided must be compliant to the password policy.
*Password update in user profile: When a user updates the password, the new password provided should be compliant with the password policy.
*New user invite from communities: When a user receives an invite from communities, a random password is generated and sent to the user. This password should be compliant to the password policy.
The following parameters can be configured in the Configuration > Password policy section under various categories in UMC. Alternatively, you can also configure this in the Configuration > All section by setting the parameters mentioned. The table lists the parameters, description and their corresponding properties.
