Enhancement Summary:

Strong passwords are the first line of defence against unauthorized usage of any software. Now, Ginesys allows its users to enforce effective password policies. Users can set password policies for the entire Organization Group. The number of days after which the password has to mandatorily change and the strength of password can also be enforced by the HO. Once it is set, all sites belonging to the Organization Group will follow the same password policy.

Scenario:

The Password expiry (in days): The Password expiry (in days) is not mandatory and can be kept blank. But once defined, it can only be a whole number between 1 and 999. This basically means that, after the number days that are specified in this field has passed the password will have to be reset.

• If left blank, it will never expire until its explicitly changed.

• If the password expiry is set to one (1) day then the password will have to be reset everyday. 
  

  If suppose a user changes the password on 13th November, 2017, then he will be allowed to login until 14th November, 2017. When he tries to login, on 15th November, he will be asked to change the password.

  
  

• If this number happens to be two(2), then the password will mandatorily have to be re-set after every two days; including the date when the first password is set. 

Enforce Strong Password: There is also a drop-down to enforce the usage of a strong password. If 'Yes' is selected from the list of values, it will ensure that the following conditions are fulfilled for each password subsequently created. The default for this is set to 'No'

• Minimum 8 characters required
• Atleast 1 uppercase alphabet [A-Z] required
• Atleast 1 lowercase alphabet [a-z] required
• Atleast 1 digit [0-9] required
• Atleast 1 Non-alphanumeric [~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?] character required
  Note: Front slash(/) and Space key are not allowed as password characters.
