Enable password editing

Select this check box to enable users to type a value when changing their own passwords. Additionally, help desk assistants, service owners, and administrators can type a value when changing their own passwords, and also the passwords for other individuals. You can also select a check box by using the Tab key to give focus to the check box and then pressing the space bar.

Hide generated passwords for others

Select this check box to hide generated passwords for others. This check box is not available if password editing is enabled.

Enable password synchronization

Select this check box to synchronize any subsequent password changes on all the accounts for a user. If this check box is selected, one-password change is synchronized on all accounts for the user. If this check box is cleared, the user must select each account and change its password individually.

Set password on user during user creation

Select this check box to set the password for a user, at the time the user is created.

Password retrieval expiration period in hours

Type an interval, in hours, in which a user must retrieve a password, before the password expires. After the new account is created, the user receives an email with the URL link that provides the password. The user must get the password before this password retrieval period expires.

For the new values to take effect, you must log out and log in again.
