Can we change the PPM Password Policy when LDAP Authentication is enabled?

Environment

CA PPM On-Premise - All Versions
LDAP Authentication Enabled in CSA

Resolution

Yes, you can change the password policy in CSA even when LDAP is enabled, however, the password policy is bypassed for those users who have "external authentication" enabled on their resource record as they are authenticating via LDAP and not via PPM itself.  For any users that do not have external authentication enabled, the updated PPM password policy will be in effect.

For more information about PPM Password Policies, refer to the documentation for your version of PPM.
