Changing the password policy

You configure various Ops Center Automator settings related to user password conditions and locks by editing the security.conf file. This enables you to customize your security settings to match your specific password policy.

The file is located in the following folder:

Common-Component-installation-folder\conf\sec

The file uses the following format:

specification-key-name=setting

When editing the file, you specify one specification key and setting per line. The following shows the default state of the security definition file:

# This is the minimum length of the password
# (minimum: 1 -256 characters)
