Complexity settings are described in the following table:
Complexity |
Description |
---|---|
Require Alphanumeric Characters Only |
Select if PINs must contain only alphanumeric characters (letters and/or numbers). |
Disallow Embedded User Name |
Select if a user's PIN must not contain the user's OnBase user name. |
Maximum Repeated Consecutive Characters |
Select to specify the maximum number of repeated consecutive characters that the PIN can contain. For example, if this number is set to 2, the word password is allowed as a PIN, while password is not allowed. |
Common Substring Maximum Length |
When selected, the number in the corresponding text field is the maximum number of common, consecutive characters that can be reused in a new, user-entered PIN. For example, if this number is set to 3, and the current PIN is PASS123, a new user-entered PIN could be PAS3210 or 0123PAS. It could not be PASS321 or 123PASS, because PASS represents more than three common, consecutive characters between the old PIN and new PIN. |
Maximum Overall Length |
Select to specify the maximum number of characters that the PIN can contain. |
Minimum Overall Length |
Select to specify the minimum number of characters that the PIN can contain. |
