Expired Password Rotation

When passwords expire or are about to expire, Securden can automatically rotate them for accounts remote password reset is enabled. You can indicate the number of days until the password expires that the password rotation should be tried, as well as the number of attempts.

You don't have to change passwords manually anywhere because the new password is updated in both the end machine and the Securden database.

Important

Only accounts for which remote access credentials have been provided can have password rotation configured. Go to Admin >> Device Level Configurations to set up remote credentials.

Configuring Password Rotation

Navigate to Admin >> Notifications >> Expired Password Rotation.

To be able to configure the settings, you need to enable the Reset Passwords Upon Expiration option.

• You need to provide the frequency of password reset attempts, which can be as low as a minute.
• You should also specify the maximum number of attempts to be made to reset a password in the field named Number of retries.
