Passwords are related to the information security of enterprises and users. The system will require users to meet a certain level of complexity when registering or changing passwords.

In addition, enterprises may include different user groups: internal employees, outsourced employees, partners, etc., and different groups require different password rules. GenAuth supports configuring differentiated password policies for different entities, and adjusting the execution priority by moving the policy order up and down. At the same time, it also supports custom password encryption method to be compatible with the user password summary encryption logic of the historical system, so as to achieve perfect compatibility with the original system password policy.

The configuration will take effect on all applications.
