Setting Up a Password Policy
Your site password policy is defined in your LDAP directory server and enforced by that server. In Windchill your password cannot begin or end with a blank space.
The Windchill Directory Server includes a default password policy for all users. Initially, the default password policy does not specify password requirements such as password syntax, length, or expiration. However, you can modify this password policy to specify password requirements using the dsconfig command line utility that is provided with the Windchill Directory Server. The location of command line utilities is dependent on your operating system:
• On Windows, they are located in the <WindchillDS>\server\bat directory.
• On UNIX, they are located in the <WindchillDS>/server/bin directory.
where <WindchillDS> is the Windchill Directory Server installation directory.
For information about which password policies are supported and an example of how to set up the default password policy for your
Windchill Directory Server, see
Setting Windchill Directory Server Password Policies.

If you store users outside of your Windchill Directory Server (for example, in a corporate directory), set up the password policy in the enterprise LDAP directory that you are using instead of in your Windchill Directory Server.

For information on setting up a password policy in an enterprise directory, see the documentation provided with the directory.
