LightWave Client

Introduction to the Password Policy feature

The Password Policy feature enables LightWave Client customers to enforce rigorous password quality standards.

How it Works

LightWave Client's Password Policy utilizes a background refresh mechanism to detect policy revisions automatically, maintaining system uptime by avoiding manual service restarts.

  • Where appropriate, the UI or the console checks against the policy to ensure password quality.

    • Some examples of password changes:

      • Adding a user to LightWave Client

      • Changing the administrator password.

  • The Password Policy is enforced for all new users or when setting a new password for an existing user.

  • The Password Policy configuration is set by a startup option.
