Manage Self-Service Password Policy

Manage the requirements for Self-Service passwords.

Note:

The information here applies to customers who were provisioned before the 25A release and whose environments are in hybrid mode.

If your environment was provisioned after 25A, or if you opted into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM) integration that was released in 25A and your environment is in migrated mode, see Overview of OCI Identity and Access Management.

You can define the password policy for users accessing Self-Service.
