You can select whether users need to type a password to log in to Rational® DOORS®, and the rules that apply to passwords if they are being used.
Set the options on the Password tab of the database properties. For information about accessing the database properties, see Configuring the Rational DOORS database.
You can impose the following rules for password creation:
- Whether users need to reconfirm their password after a period of inactivity of 5 - 60 minutes.
- Whether users need to include letters, numbers, or symbols, or any combination of the three in their passwords.
- The minimum number of characters that the password must contain.
- The number of unique passwords a user must enter before they can reuse their current password.
- The number of days a user must wait before they can reuse their current password.
Note: A user with the Create user power can specify a new password that is shorter than the minimum password length.
