Setting Password Requirements
For security purposes, Integration Server places length and character restrictions on passwords for administrator and non-administrator users. Integration Server contains a default set of password requirements; however, you can change these with the Integration Server Administrator.
* To set password length and character requirements for non-Administrator users
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Security menu of the Navigation panel, click User Management.
3. Click Password Restrictions.
4. Click Edit Password Restrictions.
5. Fill in information in the following fields:
Field
Description
Default
Enable Password Change
Whether users are allowed to change their passwords. These users must have developer privileges.
Yes
Password Enforcement Mode
Whether Administrator users are allowed to choose passwords that are not impacted by the password restriction settings. For Administrator users, when this property is set to Strict, Integration Server enforces the password restrictions. When set to Lax, the password restrictions are not enforced. For non-administrators the restrictions are always enforced.
Lax
Minimum Password Length
Minimum number of characters (alphabetic characters, digits, and special characters combined) the password must contain.
8
Maximum Password Length
Maximum number of characters (alphabetic characters, digits, and special characters combined) the password must contain. Maximum number of characters that a password can have is 128.
64
Minimum Number of Uppercase Characters
Minimum number of uppercase alphabetic characters the password must contain.
0
Minimum Number of Lowercase Characters
Minimum number of lowercase alphabetic characters the password must contain.
0
Minimum Number of Digits
Minimum number of digits the password must contain.
0
Minimum Number of Special Characters (neither alphabetic nor digits)
Minimum number of special characters, such as asterisk (*), period (.), and question mark (?) the password must contain.
Note: The use of special characters is regulated by the following restrictions:
*A password cannot begin with an asterisk (*).
*Passwords cannot contain quotation marks ("), backslashes (\), ampersands (&), or less-than signs (<). Use the watt.server.illegalUserChars configuration property to restrict the use of additional characters.
0
Maximum Number of Identical Characters in a Row
Maximum number of identical characters in a row a password can contain.
3
Number of Old Passwords to Remember (per user)
Maximum number of previously set passwords that Integration Server saves for a user (excluding the current password). You cannot choose a password that matches any of the stored passwords. Maximum number of saved passwords is 12.
Note: Setting a new value to this field takes effect immediately upon saving. All the previously saved passwords, corresponding to the old value set for this field, are deleted and cannot be retrieved.
For example, If initially administrator sets the value of this field to five, then Integration Server saves the last five passwords. If the administrator changes the value of this field to three, then Integration Server maintains only the latest three password entries and removes the oldest two entries. Similarly, if administrator changes it to six, then Integration Server maintains six latest entries.
