Enabling Password Aging Enforcement for Seeq Directory

Overview

Password aging enforcement is a critical security measure designed to ensure that users regularly update their passwords to maintain account security. By enabling password aging enforcement, administrators can define the maximum duration for which a password can be used before it must be changed. Additionally, they can configure warning periods and grace periods to inform users about impending password expiration and provide them with a time window to update their password before a password change is required in order to access their account.

Enable and Configure Password Aging Policy

To enable this feature:

Navigate to Administration > Configuration
Set Authentication/SeeqDirectory/EnforcePasswordAge to true
Configure any optional parameters (see table below).
