Figure 30-2 Active Directory—User Must Change Password at Next Logon
The next time this user logs on, the security appliance displays the following prompt: “New password
required. Password change required. You must enter a new password with a minimum length
n to
continue.” You can set the minimum required password length, n , as part of the Active Directory
configuration at Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Domain Security Policy > Windows
Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies > Password Policy. Select Minimum password length.
Using Active Directory to Specify Maximum Password Age
To enhance security, you can specify that passwords expire after a certain number of days. To specify a
maximum password age for a user password, specify the
password-management command in
tunnel-group general-attributes configuration mode on the security appliance and do the following steps
under Active Directory:
Step 1 Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Domain Security Policy > Windows Settings >
Security Settings > Account Policies > Password Policy.
Step 2
Double-click Maximum password age. This opens the Security Policy Setting dialog box.
Step 3
Check the Define this policy setting check box and specify the maximum password age, in days, that you
want to allow.
