Hi

I am looking for a way how to set the password-rules for individually for for some users or identity-groups.

I just can find the global settings

Background of the requirement: We want to use password-aging for most admin-users, for some we dont want that pw expires

(e.g. NMS-Users ect)

Thx

Hubert

Hi,

I dont see any way you can do that per use level, the only place where  you can change authentication settings is :

System Administration > Users > Authentication Settings


and thats appliacable to all users

Thanks

Hi,

sorry to raise this old thread but... we have the same requirement - to be able to tune password rules settings for specific user accounts.

I would call this a feature request... Can we have a comment if this feature is ever likely to appear in future ACS releases?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes this would be considered as PER.

Currently there are no plans for this to be implemented for specifc accounts only, it is possible though in a global way.

HTH,

Tiago

You can disable password aging for specific users

Need to upgrade to ACS 5.2 and install cummulative patch 5.2.0.26.2 patch or higher that includes the following enhancement

There are no new specific options you will see in the GUI. It is enabled by created attributes for internal users

This functionality is enabled as follows:

- In : System Administration > Configuration > Dictionaries > Identity > Internal Users add Boolean attribute ACSRESERVEDNeverExpired and set its default value to "false".

- Set this user attribute to be true in the internal user definitions of those users whose password should never expire.

There should be a pdf doc included together with the readme

Thanks a lot now it works! Great !

Btw is there a way to do this as well for the administrative users ?

This specific mechanism does not apply to administrators.

However, administrative accounts already have the followig option that can be selected

:

Overwrites account blocking in case password expired, account inactivity
period reached or admin exhausted permitted failed attempt
