Issue/Introduction

When logging into CA Identity Portal using a temporary password, the user is prompted to change the password.  How can we enable password validation on the expired password screen so that the password meets the minimum standards?

Environment

Release:
Component: SIGMA

Resolution

CA Identity Portal uses the backend Identity Manager password tasks and password policy.  The IM password policy will provide validation for the password when a user is prompted to change an expired password. For example, if the IM password policy is configured to require a minimum password length of 8, and the password entered by the user is too short, a message will be displayed to inform the user of this problem:

Password is too short. Minimum length is 8.
