Create a Password Policy

You create password policies through the CA Identity Manager User Console.

Note: The availability of some password policy options requires mapping certain well-known attributes. See Enable Additional Password Policies.

Follow these steps:

1. In the User Console, choose either:
   • Policies, Manage Password Policies, Create Password Policy.
   • Tasks, Policies, Manage Password Policies, Create Password Policy.
2. Enter a unique name and an optional description for the password policy.
3. Configure these password policy settings as best suits your implementation:
   • Apply a Password Policy to a Set of Users
   • Configure Password Expiration
   • Configure Password Composition
   • Specify Regular Expressions
   • Set Password Restrictions
   • Configure Advanced Password Options
