2.3.1 Enforcing Case-Sensitive Universal Password For Access Manager

Making the passwords case-sensitive adds to the security of the login to Access Manager. For example, if you have a password aBc that is case-sensitive, all the trials of login with the combinations like abc or Abc or ABC would fail.

  1. Log into Administration Console.

  2. Click username on the top right corner of the page.

  3. Configuring iManager:

    1. Click Configure Console.

    2. Click iManager Server > Configure iManager.
