Define the password policy

Sintelix enforces password strength, expiry and history. You can edit the default settings to suit your requirements.

To change the default password settings:

  1. Go to the file <Sintelix installation directory> The directory in which the Sintelix program has been installed, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Sintelix.\webapp\WEB-INF\resources\com.sintelix.semanticportal.spring\security-context.xml

  2. Make the changes you require. You can edit the following settings:

    3. Copy
