Defining Client Password Policy

(Applies only to native and hybrid) Define the client password policy used to unlock the DataVault, for the selected application. The application developer must have added enforcement code to the application DataVault to enforce the policy. The administrator enters the application password policy used to unlock the DataVault during application initialization. Note that this policy does not apply to Agentry or Mobiliser clients, which do not use DataVault.

1. From Management Cockpit, select Applications > Client Password Policy.
2. Click Enable Password Policy to display additional fields.
3. Enter values:

   Property	Default	Description
   Expiration Days	0	The number of days a password is valid before it expires.
   Minimum Length	8	The minimum password length required.
   Retry Limit	20	The number of retries allowed when entering an incorrect password. After this number of retries, the client is locked out, and the DataVault and all its contents is permanently deleted, rendering the application permanently unusable and all encrypted application data un-accessible permanently.
   Minimum Unique Characters	0	The minimum number of unique characters required in the password.
   Lock Timeout	0	The length of time in seconds the DataVault may remain unlocked within the application, before the user must re-enter their default password to continue using the application (similar to a screen-saver feature).
   Password Properties:	See below	Required password policies.
   Default Password Allowed	Disabled	Indicates whether a default password can be generated by the DataVault; from the user's point of view this policy turns off the password.
   Has Digits	Disabled	Indicates whether the password must include digits.
   Has Lower	Disabled	Indicates whether the password must include lower case letters.
   Has Upper	Disabled	Indicates whether the password must include upper case letters.
   Has Special	Disabled	Indicates whether the password can include special characters.
