Introduction
evaluagent lets you define security rules tailored to your business's requirements. Using the security settings, you can configure:
Password Expiration: Define how often you want to force users to reset their passwords.
Minimum Password length: Set a minimum password length that users must adhere to. Optionally, you can also set a different minimum password length for anyone who is an admin.
Password Reuse: Force users to enter a different password and stop them from reusing a password they may have used in a recent change.
By default, the only rule that cannot be turned off is the minimum password length. This is set to 8 characters/numbers by default, but you may change this as required.
Navigation prompt
Go to SETTINGS > Click Security settings > Click the Password restrictions tab
Here you can configure rules associated with:
Password Expiry
Password Reuse
Password Length
Password Attempts
Password Expiry
By default, passwords are configured not to expire. However, if you choose to activate this feature, you will be prompted to enter how often users will be required to change their passwords. The minimum refresh period is 30 days.
PLEASE NOTE: When you first activate this feature, all users will be prompted to reset their password on their next login.
Password Reuse
This rule prevents users from reusing a recently used password. You configure how many previous passwords you want evaluagent to remember, and if a password is in that list, the system will not allow the user to change their password to that former password.
Password Length
The default minimum password length is eight characters, but you can increase it.
In addition, you can assign users with the Administrator role a different password length requirement. In the example below, non-Admin users must have a password length of 9, while users assigned the Admin role must have a password length of 12.
Password Attempts
This rule allows you to lock a user's account after a specified number of incorrect login attempts.
How to unlock accounts
When a user account is locked, they will see a message when they try to log in indicating the account is locked.
To unlock a locked account, follow the steps below.
Navigation prompt
Go to USER MANAGEMENT > click Add & edit users
Select the relevant user and click Unlock account to get a final prompt for you to confirm the unlock.
