Re: password policy

Hi, Danny
Just to clarify..
In other words my new policy will ONLY be in effect if the current user
password is up for renewal..Correct ?? If it is then the new policy will
then take effect.. ?? If not i imagine they will continue working the old
password policy until their password is up for renewal..correct??.

Would the new policy take effect immediately prompting user to change
their password.

If you were to set a 90 limit on the passwords, accounts that have
passwords over 90 days would be required to change and abide by the new
policies. Passwords under 90 days would not be affected until they reach
90 days.

like to implement 8 chars min ..
