Each company has an associated password policy. A partner company can be assigned a custom password policy or can inherit the password policy of their owner company. When you assign a password policy to a company, you replace the previous password policy with the new password policy.
Notes:
- If the password policy assigned to a company is modified or a new password policy is assigned to a company, existing users with established passwords are not required to change their password immediately. However, when those users do change their password (for example, due to password expiration or password reset), the new password must conform to the new password policy. Oracle recommends that you reset the passwords of users that belong to a company whose password policy has been changed.
- OIM Only: If a partner company inherits the password policy of the owning company and the owning company password policy is modified, the partner company password policy is modified accordingly.
Use the Manage Password Policies tab to assign password policies to one or more companies. You can also use the Manage Companies tab if you only want to assign the password policy for a single company. See Change a Company's Password Policy (OIM Only) for details.
To assign a password policy to a company:
- On the Manage Password Policies tab, select the password policy you want to assign.
- On the Assigned Companies tab in the lower pane, click Manage Assignments.
- In the Available pane, select the companies for the password policy. Hold down the Control key and click to select more than one application.
- Click Add to selected column.
- Click Assign.
- Click Save.
