11.2.1 Change your password from Account Info
Use this procedure to change your password from the Account Info option within the Settings
application.
Your ability to change your password is controlled by the following factors:
•
If your user account is configured to use a Microsoft Active Directory server for user authentication,
you cannot change your password from the login screen. Contact your Security Administrator for
assistance.
•
If your user account is authenticated by Unigy and you or an administrator changed your password
recently, you might have to wait for the minimum password age period specified in the authentication
policy to expire before you can change the password again. The default for this threshold is ten days,
however, the System Administrator might have configured this for a longer time period. If you see the
message The password change failed. The password has been changed too
recently., contact your Security Administrator or Unigy administrator for details on when you
can change the password.
•
If an administrator resets your password from the Unigy Management System and requires that you
change the password the next time you log in, the system displays the message Please change
password. when you attempt to log in. When you see this message, it is not necessary to wait until
the minimum password age expires before you change the password.
•
If the maximum password age period specified in the authentication policy expires, you must change
your password. If a password expiration warning is configured, the system displays a message that
instructs you to change the password within the specified time period. If a warning is not configured,
the system instructs you to change the password, which you should do before you attempt to log in.
You can change your password from Account Info or from the Login screen. For information on
changing your password from the Login screen, refer to Change your password from the Login screen on
page 18.
For your security, asterisks are displayed as you type the password values instead of the actual
characters.
