Cloud Application Integration (On-Premises) : Administering Integration Server : Managing Users and Groups : Defining a User Account : Setting Password Requirements
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. A non-administrator must observe these restrictions when changing a password. An administrator user receives a warning if he or she changes a password to one that does not meet these restrictions.
You can use the watt.server.password.mode configuration property to specify whether or not to enforce the password restrictions when setting passwords for administrator or non-administrator users. When this property is set to strict, the password restrictions are enforced and when set to lax, the password restrictions are not enforced.
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.
