setPasswordPolicy

Stores the password policy and applies it when changePassword is called, or when validating the password in the unlock method.

If the application has not set a password policy using this method, the data vault does not validate the password in the createVault or changePassword methods. An exception is thrown if there is any invalid (negative) value in the passwordPolicy object.

Syntax

public abstract void setPasswordPolicy(DataVault.DVPasswordPolicy oPasswordPolicy)

Parameters

oPasswordPolicy – the password policy constraints.

Examples

Set a password policy –

// SetPasswordPolicy() locks the vault to ensure the old password 
// conforms to the new password policy settings.
oDataVault.setPasswordPolicy( oPasswordPolicy );

Password Policy Structure
A structure defines the policy used to generate the password.
Password Errors
