Enable password reset policy checks
Use the glide.enable.password_policy property to enable password policy checks whenever a user changes their password using the user interface.
Use the glide.enable.password_policy property to customize password strength validation rules for the Change Password form. Customize the length and complexity values to match your organization's security policy. If glide.enable.password_policy is not set to the recommended value of true, then password standards will not be enforced.
Ensure that the glide.enable.password_policy system property exists in the System Properties [sys_properties] table and is set to the value true. If the property does not appear in the System Properties [sys_properties] table, add a new record.
Important: The glide.enable.password_policy does not apply when an administrator changes a password or adds a user through script.
Warning: This is a safe harbor property, meaning the value can't be altered once it's changed. It is non-revertible.
