Testing password policy
Generating passwords
You can test whether Bravura Security Fabric can generate an adequate number of random passwords based on the current password policy. To do this:
Click Manage the system > Policies > Password policies .
Select the policy for which you want to define rules.
Select the Password policy tab.
Scroll to the Test password policy form at the bottom of the page.
Type the number of random passwords for Bravura Security Fabric to generate.
This value must be between 100 and 1000. The default is 100.
Click Test.
Bravura Security Fabric displays the number of passwords that satisfy the password policy, out of the total number of passwords generated. If the success rate is too low, it may indicate that your password policy is too complex.
Checking passwords against strength rules
You can test whether a password conforms to all the configured password strength rules on the Test password tab for a password policy. This is useful to determine whether or not the rules you have defined may be too complex for end users, or if they will meet the needs of your organization.
To test a password:
Click Manage the system > Policies > Password policies .
Select the policy for which you want to define rules.
Select the Test passwords tab.
Bravura Security Fabric displays the Test passwords page, which simulates the password strength rules and messages displayed to users when they are asked to create new passwords.
Type the password in the New password field and click Test.
Bravura Security Fabric displays the results of the test.
