Setting User Defaults
When you create a user, the defaults that you set in the Configure User window take effect. Use these procedures to specify the default global password policy settings for all users. This default set of parameters is applied when a new user is created.
Note Even after you have set defaults in this window, you can change the password policy for an individual user. See Changing Your Password.

If you chose to generate passwords for users automatically, they are configured in the following steps.
Procedure
Step 1 Choose Configure > User Defaults.
The system displays the Configure User Defaults page.
Step 2 Configure password options by performing the following tasks in the Password column:
