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 drop-down menu. Select the SystemConfiguration object and edit the value for the passwordSpecialCharacters entry key. For example:

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