Add new rules using a white list

You can add additional rules that use a white lists of characters that must be used in a password. This is particularly useful when defining the Privileged access password policy , where a higher degree of entropy is required.

Click below to view a demonstration.

To add a password rule using a white list:

  1. On the Password Policy tab, type Valid characters in the White list form below the standard strength rules; for example aeiouAEIOU.

  2. Type the Number of valid characters that must be included in a password.

    This value will be included in the rule’s description.

  3. Select the Status (required or warning).

    Depending on the status, Bravura Security Fabric prepends “The password must” or “The password should” to the message to display to users; for example:

    Your password must: have at least 3 characters in [aeiouAEIOU]

  4. Click Update.

    Bravura Security Fabric automatically adds a row so that you can add another white list, or you can click More to add more rows.

    New passwords will be generated and tested against a combination of white lists and other rules.

To delete a white list, select the checkbox next to the list and click Update in the white list table.
