4. Select the Enforce Strong Passwords checkbox to force users to have a password of 8 to 64 characters consisting of:
•At least one number
•At least one lower case letter
•At least one upper case letter
•At least one special character
5. Enter a period in days that a password is valid for (up to a maximum of 999) in the Password Expiry field. This determines how long a password can be used before the user must change it. If the field is set to 0, passwords will not expire. Note: Users will be prompted to change their password.
6. Enter a number of days before password expiry (up to a maximum of 999) to display a warning to users in the Warn User field. If the field is set to 0, users will not be warned that their password is going to expire.
7. Enter a minimum password length in the Min. Password Length field. The minimum password length must be between 8 to 64 characters.
8. Enter the number of previous passwords (up to a maximum of 999) that cannot be reused in the Password Reuse field. When a user changes their password, the new password will be compared against the set number of previous passwords to ensure it has not been used before. If the field is set to 0, no limit will be enforced on password reuse.
9. Select the require password reset checkbox to prompt new users to change their password after the initial login.
10. Click the Submit button to save the changes or click Cancel to return to the previous screen without saving.
