Worksheet for Defining Password Policy

This worksheet is designed to help you define a password policy to implement either through the command-line interface or using Directory Service Control Center (DSCC). Use one worksheet for each password policy.

After you record the DN of the password policy entry, record your decisions about settings for attributes in each policy area. Also record your rationale for those settings.
