Password policy for the super administrator account

When you login with the super administrator account, you can enable the Digital Access component password policy to ensure that passwords are used to log on to Digital Access Admin.

1. In Digital Access Admin, go to Monitor System.

2. Click Manage Settings...

3. Check Enable password policy.

The following requirements must be met for the super admin password if the Digital Access component password policy is enabled:

• The password is at least six characters long.

• The password contains characters from at least three of the following four categories:

  • English uppercase characters (from A through Z).

  • English lowercase characters (from a through z).

  • Base 10 digits (from 0 through 9).

  • Non-alphanumeric characters (for example: !, $, #, or %).

When the password policy is not enabled, there are no restrictions for the formatting of the super administrator password. The password policy is enabled by default.
