To help with security of logging into the platform directly, Administrators can set Password Requirements. These requirements can be set on a per user group basis and includes the following settings:

• Minimum Length - Set the number of minimum characters the password must be in order to pass
• Maximum Age - Set the number of days that a password can be valid without a user having to change it. A user will be prompted to change their passwords when the allotted time has passed.
• Require Change - Check this rule to require a user to change their password when they log in for the first time.
• Password History - Set the number of generation you want to check in the past to see if a user has used the password they are trying to enter before. Entering 0 generations will disable this feature. Entering -1 generations will check through an unlimited number of generations making it so that a user can never reuse a password.
• Trivial Checking - Check this rule to enable checking for passwords that are easily guessed such as the user's login name. If a trivial password is found, the user will be asked to choose a different one.

This same page also allows you to deactivate a user automatically if they have not logged into the platform within a certain number of days.   This too can be managed on a user group by user group basis.

• Auto Disable - Set the number of days a user can be idle before that user is set to inactive and disabled. Setting to 0 turns the feature off. This rule runs nightly.

Using these tools helps administrators keep the platform more secure and user account numbers under control in a more automated way.  To access this page, administrators can go to Administration > DMP Configuration Center > Manage Password Requirements.  For questions on how this feature may help you, reach out to your account manager or send an email to training@distribion.com.
