Defining Special Characters Available For Password Use

IdentityIQ enables you to define the special characters that can be used in passwords throughout your deployment of the product. A default set of special characters are included in the System Configuration object.

The special characters enabled for use in passwords are listed in the passwordSpecialCharacters key. To edit these items:

• Click the gear icon in the navigation menu, go to the Global Settings > IdentityIQ Configuration > Password tab > Password Policy area, and click Define Character Type.

  Or

• Go to the debug page of the IdentityIQ user interface and select object type Configuration from the dropdown menu. Select the SystemConfiguration object and edit the value for the passwordSpecialCharacters entry key. For example:

  <entry key="passwordSpecialCharacters" value="~!@#$%^*_+-={}\\][:;?,."/>
