Configuring an Identity Injection Policy for User Passwords

Ensure that you have enabled the Allow admin to retrieve passwords option under Universal Password Retrieval in the eDirectory user store for all users, so that the policy can retrieve the password from the user store. Without this configuration, the identity injection policy for user password will not work.

The identity Injection policy that uses user passwords will not work when accessing a resource through the MobileAccess app because the MobileAccess app uses OAuth token for basic authentication. If you require to use Identity Injection with user password for MobileAccess, you can enable the password retrieval in eDirectory, which is less secure and not recommended. 

For more information about how to enable the password retrieval in eDirectory, see Universal Password Configuration Options in the Password Management Administration Guide.

NOTE:The password retrieval works only with eDirectory.
