    Note

    If you have set a global password policy, the new password must conform to the new policy.
  5. If you want to create a separate password policy for just this user, click the Advanced button and complete the following information:
    • Maximum Age (days)—Maximum password age, in days. For example, if you enter 60, users will be required to set a new password in 60 days.
    • Minimum Length—Set a minimum password length.
    • History Limit—Set the number of new passwords before a user can reuse an older password. For example, if you enter 3, the user must create three new passwords until a former password can be reused.
    • Character Validation—Enforce passwords that have at least two of each of the following:
      • upper case letters
      • lower case letters
      • numbers
      • special character

      For example: P@Sw04d!

    • Lockout on Login Failures—Lock the user out after three unsuccessful login attempts.
  6. When finished, click Save Config.
