Change password?
When selected, you can immediately change the user's password. With this setting, you can change user passwords without many of the restrictions that apply when users change their passwords via the User can change password setting (passwords can be changed more than once every 24-hours and previous passwords can be used).
The User must change password at next login options should be selected when the password is reset by the administrator.
User can change password
When selected, the user is provided the option of changing their password.
The default password policy is as follows:
▪Must be eight characters in length.

▪Cannot contain user ID information (default setting).
▪Must be changed every 90 days (default setting).
▪Can only be changed once every 24 hours.
▪Cannot be reused for at least eight password intervals (default setting).
The default password policy can be changed through the authentication site properties in DPM. For more information, see in the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library.
