Password requirements

Various requirements apply to CCLAS EL passwords.

• If your password is cleared by an authorised user, when you next log in, then you are prompted to enter a new password.
• CCLAS EL passwords are not case-sensitive.
• Once a password expires, when you log in with the old password, then you are prompted to enter a new password.
• Where you password is soon to expire, when you log in to CCLAS EL, then you are notified of the imminent expiry.

Note: CCLAS EL passwords are case-insensitive. All password entries are forced to upper case.

The number of days in after which a password expires is defined by the PasswordExpiryWarningDays GLOBAL setting.

If the PasswordPolicy CCLASMGR global setting is enabled, then the CCLAS EL password policy is applied.

Where the password policy is applied, then all CCLAS EL passwords must meet the policy requirements which include:

• All passwords must be a minimum length of characters. The minimum password character length is defined by the PasswordLength GLOBALsetting.
• All passwords must include at least 1 printable, non-numeric character (ie A-Z, ~!@#$ etc) and at least 1 digit (0-9).
• All passwords cannot be reused within a 90 day period. The PasswordReuseRejectCount and the PasswordReuseRejectRange GLOBALsetting define the number of times before which the same password is reusable.
• All user’s passwords expire after a nominated period (default for new users is 40 days).
