Create and apply a password policy

Before installing and configuring the Bravura Pass transparent password synchronization software on the OS/400 server, you need to create a password strength policy for the OS/400 server:

  1. Configure a password strength policy .

    Set the Maximum number of lowercase letters to 0. Passwords on the OS/400 system cannot include lowercase letters. Configure other parameters as required.

  2. Create a target system group.

    • Ensure that the Use transparent password synchronization checkbox is selected.

    • Select the password policy that you created.

  3. Make the OS/400 server a member of the target system group.

Once you have applied the password policy and installed the exit programs on an OS/400 server, be sure to inform your users that:

  • All future password changes are subjected to the password policy enforced by the Bravura Pass server.

  • When they change their password on the OS/400 server, their new password is automatically applied to all their other accounts managed by the Bravura Pass server.

  • Their new password must be all uppercase.
