Password Policy Restrictions

This page allows you to set the following restrictions for enhanced passwords:

Password History
You can require the user to use a unique password each time the password is changed. You can also set how many password changes need to take place before the user can use a password again by setting the History size.

Password Change
You can restrict the user from changing his or her password by selecting Prohibit user from changing password. You can also allow the user to self enroll. This means that if the user does not have an enhanced password, they can authenticate using a simple password or NDS password and they will then be prompted to enter an enhanced password. This can save the administrator time, because he doesn't have to set the enhanced password for each user.

Password Synchronization
You can allow the user's enhanced password to be synchronized to the user's NDS password and/or to the user's simple password by selecting the associated synchronization checkbox.
