Account properties

Account properties are used to configure the account.

Where account properties are held

The account properties are held on a node linked to from the account using Account properties. The account properties node uses the Node Properties type. Each property is coded as a Properties member, where the target is the node property and the value is the value of the property.

You can access the properties node from the Account properties option in the top right of the Account manager.

Password rule

A recipe for the minimum requirements for password length and complexity. Takes the form

entropy:length:charset

entropy is a complexity measure based on the length and characters used. For example, 50 is a moderate strength password, 70 is strong and 100 is very strong.

length is the minimum length.

charset are the required characters. This is a string selected from A, a, 9 and !, meaning upper case, lower case, digit and special character (i.e. not alphanumeric). For example Aa9! means the password must have each of these, A! means the password must have an upper case and a speclal character.

The preferred approach is to have only entropy. For example, just 50 means that passwords must be at least moderate.

Where organisational policy dictates, the other parts can be set. For example :8:Aa9! represents the common "minimum length 8, include upper case, lower case, digit and special character".
