Managing passwords

Users must have a RICOH ProcessDirector user name and password to access the system and to do RICOH ProcessDirector actions.

In this section:

  1. Changing your password
    Users defined in the RICOH ProcessDirector system can change their own passwords to something that they can remember easily.
  2. Resetting the password for a user
    You can reset a password for a user if they forget their password or feel that it has been compromised.
  3. Setting a password expiration counter
    You can set a limit on how long all passwords in the system can be used before they must be changed. The limit applies to all users.
  4. Updating the user password for remote DB2 and PostgreSQL databases
    If you use a database installed separately from RICOH ProcessDirector, whenever you change the password for the instance owner (DB2) or the database user (PostgreSQL), you must also update RICOH ProcessDirector to use the new password.
  5. Enforcing password complexity
    You can enable complex password rules if you have the Security feature installed.
