Set up security policies for local users

You can set up security polices for local users on the Users page, Local configuration tab.

You can set up the following policies:

• Require a minimum password length

  This is disabled until you select it. The default minimum length is 8 characters

• Enable a built-in passphrase generator

  The built-in passphrase generator combines words from a dictionary to suggest new passwords. The default number of words in a passphrase is 5, and you can choose any number between 1 and 8.

  If you want to use the built-in passphrase generator, you need to provide a dictionary.

  Dictionary requirements:

  • The dictionary must be a text file with one word in each line.
  • Characters must be UTF-8 encoded.
  • The file must not contain any null characters .
  • Maximum file size is 10 MB.

• Restrict password reuse

  This is disabled until you select it. The input fields are blank until you enter a value.

Note: Changes to the security policies only take effect after you restart Meeting Management.

Note: Note that Enforce password policy and Enforce password reuse policy are applied only when users change their own password.

Note: If the passphrase generator is enabled, Meeting Management will suggest passphrases for all users.
