PASSWORDCONFIGURATION node

The PASSWORDCONFIGURATION node of the Hansen8 configuration defines the agency’s requirements for users’ Infor Public Sector passwords. These requirements can be defined in Infor Public Sector using the Password Settings page.

The PASSWORDCONFIGURATION node can have these attributes:

Attribute Description
Days Until Expiration Number of days users’ passwords are valid before they must be changed.
Maximum failed attempts Number of consecutive unsuccessful login attempts before a user is locked out.
Minimum Length Minimum number of characters in Infor Public Sector passwords.
Require Mixed Case Can be set to True or False to indicate to indicate whether passwords must include a mix of upper and lower case letters.
Require Numeric Character Can be set to True or False to indicate to indicate whether passwords must include numbers as well as letters.
Require Special Character Can be set to True or False to indicate to indicate whether passwords must include special characters such as dollar signs or ampersands.
Unique History Length Number of old passwords in a user’s history that Infor Public Sector checks when determining the uniqueness of a new password. For example, if you specify 5, Infor Public Sector checks a user’s last five passwords. Specify 0 if you don’t want to check the user’s password history. Specify -1 to check all the passwords in the user’s history, requiring a unique password with each change.
