Users with the Foglight Security Administrator role can view and edit the configurable password policies on the Configure Password Settings dashboard in the Administration Console. Certain password policies cannot be viewed on this page or edited. They are as follows:

A user's password cannot be:

•

Setting password complexity levels

Setting password complexity levels

The customer sets the enforcement complexity level passwords of credential lockboxes, internal users, and users with the Foglight® Security Administrator role. The Lockbox password complexity level, the User password complexity level, and the Administrator password complexity level list are available from the Configure Password Settings dashboard and define the following levels of increasing complexity:

•
Level 1: Passwords are not checked for complexity.
•
Level 2: Passwords must contain both alphabetic and numeric characters.
•
Level 3: Passwords must contain at least one upper case letter, lower case letter, and numeric character, as well as at least one character that is not alphanumeric.

By default, the complexity level for both internal users' and administrators' passwords is set to level 2. Administrators' passwords cannot be set to level 1.
