Configuring Password Policies for an Application

Password policies specify the password requirements for an application. These can include minimum and maximum lengths for the password and requirements for its makeup, for example number of letters, digits, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters. The policies can also restrict password choice based on matches in password history, the password dictionary, the identity's list of attributes, and the identity's account attributes.

A separate password policy can be defined for each application in IdentityIQ. In fact, multiple policies can be defined for each application.
