Chapter 4 Managing Users and Roles : Managing the Password Policy for an Administration Domain

Managing the Password Policy for an Administration Domain
A password policy can be set for an administration domain when it is created. Users with Write permission to the Users console can change the password policy by editing the existing password policy, creating a new password policy or removing the password policy.
For an introduction to the password policy, see the TIBCO Administrator Server Configuration Guide.
When setting a password policy, you can either use one of the XML templates provided in the TIBCO_HOME/tra/<version>/config/security folder or create one of your own. After you load the password policy file, it is stored in the administration domain. The PasswordPolicy.xsd file and the following template files are available:
Once created, the password policy applies to all users and groups in the administration domain. You should use an LDAP directory server if you wish to customize password policies for different users and groups.
