Password rules
The password rules panel allows you to manage restrictions on users' passwords.
Passwords may be restricted so that they must contain at least one uppercase character, lowercase character, digits, special characters and brackets. The full character set for each option is detailed below.
| Name |
Full character set |
|---|---|
| Uppercase | ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ |
| Lowercase | abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz |
| Digits | 0123456789 |
| Special | !"$%^&*_+=-:;@'~#,.?/\|`¬ |
| Brackets | ()<>{}[] |
In addition to these sets a custom set can be built by adding characters to the additional characters text box.
Passwords can be restricted such that they must exceed a minimum length.
Passwords can be restricted such that when the user changes his password it may not match a password used within the configured number of previous passwords and/or may not match a previous password used within the configured number of previous days.
Once the password rules have been set click the Apply button to apply the changes. The changes will only be put into effect the next time a user logs in.
It is possible to inhibit the ability to paste into password boxes within Blue Prism. This setting affects other password fields within the product and, as such, is modified in the more general System/Settings section.
Login options
The Log in options panel allows you to select options for the log in screen presented to users before they log in.
A list of users can optionally be displayed on the log in screen. This can save time when logging in since users can click their user name instead of having to type it in.
Users can start Blue Prism and be presented with their last logged in user name. That is to say, the username with which they last logged into Blue Prism will be stored, so that the next time they log in, the same username will already be typed in for them. This is particularly useful if the computer often has only one user using it. Alternatively the option can be selected which uses the windows username at the log in screen. This is useful if your Blue Prism username matches your windows username. The final option will present users with a blank username. This is the default option.
User accounts can be set to lock out after a number of failed log in attempts. Once the user is locked out he will not be able to log back in again until the account is unlocked by an Administrator.
The option to warn the user when their password is about to expire can be set and configured to the next day, up to 14 days in advance. When the user logs in, a message will be displayed if their password is due to expire within the chosen time period.
