Passwords

Threat View allows user authentication with static password. To verify the entries, Threat View retrieves the user credentials from the database. To ensure password security, passwords must comply with the Threat View password strength rules.

Password strength rules

To ensure the password security, Threat View enforces password strength rules. These rules are defined in the default policy which you can access via the application properties.

The default password strength rules are:

• Minimum length: 14 characters

• Maximum length: 98 characters

  The maximum length is fixed and cannot be configured.

• Allowed characters:

  The password must be composed of the following characters:

  • At least one uppercase character (A through Z)

  • At least one lowercase character (a through z)

  • At least one number (from 0 to 9)

  • Special / non-alphanumerical characters: the default strength rules do not prescribe the inclusion of special characters.
