These are the password Management rules:
- Minimum password length will be set to 8 characters with a maximum of 30, using a combination of letters, numbers, and/or special characters. Due to Banner or AIX system requirements, only the following special characters may be used: ! ^ * - _ + [ ] { } \ : ‘ ? / . ~
- Passwords should not be set to anything that can be readily associated with the user such as: birthdays, first or last names, pet names, telephone numbers, etc.
- Passphrases should be used if possible, they are much harder to decipher. (example – I have no idea what this means changed to !HaveN01dea?thisMean’s)
- Password changes, where possible, will be forced during the first time login.
- Password changes will be required minimally at the following intervals: system administrators, 90 days; users, 90 days.
- A previously used password will not be accepted until after seven additional passwords have been used.
Please call the Campus Support Center ((479) 968-0646) if you have trouble with your password change.
