After you change a company's password policy, all new users that are assigned to the company must create a password according to 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 Select Password Policy dialog box to change the password policy of a single company. You can also change the password policy for multiple companies using the Manage Password Policies page. For more information about changing the password policy for multiple companies, see Assign a Password Policy to a Company for OIM.
To change a company's password policy:
- On the Manage Companies tab, click Expand to expand the owner company, if needed, and select the partner company you want to change.
- If needed, deselect the Inherit Password Policy check box.
- In the Password Policy field, triple-click Select.
- Select a password policy.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
