Siebel Security Guide > User Administration > Managing Forgotten Passwords > Defining Password Length for System-Generated PasswordsThis topic describes how to configure the length of passwords generated by Siebel Business Applications for users who had previously self-registered but who have forgotten their password. For information on the forgotten password feature, see Managing Forgotten Passwords and User Experience for a Forgotten Password. When a user requests a new password using the Forgot Your Password feature, the User Registration business service invokes the SetRandomPassword method to create the new password. The SetRandomPassword method uses the rand() method to generate a password that is composed of randomly selected alphanumeric characters (the alphabetic characters a to z, and the numerals 0 to 9). The generated password does not contain special characters. To ensure that generated passwords conform to your company's policy on password length, you can specify minimum and maximum character lengths for passwords by adding two user properties to the User Registration business service in Siebel Tools. These user properties are RandPassMinLength and RandPassMaxLength. The User Registration business service method, SetRandomPassword, uses the values of these two user properties when it is invoked. To define minimum and maximum values for password length
