Changing a Password

Any user can log in to Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) to change their own passwords.

Passwords must adhere to the following default password policy:

A password can contain the following character types as long as it has met the minimum character requirements:

• English Uppercase Characters (A-Z)
• English Lowercase Characters (a-z)
• Base 10 Digits (0-9)
• Non-alphanumeric Characters (for example, !, $, #, or ^)
• Unicode Characters

  The minimum password character requirements require a minimum of eight characters that include at least:

• Two alphabet characters
  • One Numeric Character
  • One Alphanumeric Character
  • One English Uppercase Character (A-Z)
  • One English Lowercase Character (a-z)
• One Base 10 Digit (0-9)

  A password cannot contain a user’s First Name, Last Name, or User ID.

A password expires after 180 days. A warning will be sent to a user 30 days before the expiration date to remind them to change their password.

To change your password:

1. Log in to OIM with your username and password.
2. In Identity Self Service, under My Profile, click My Information.
3. In the My Information page, expand Change Password.
