Define the password policies
The Breeze administrator uses the Policy Setting screen to define the password setup policy for the 
synchronization. Passwords are pieces of user data that are dealt with separately from the other 
data in an external directory. Passwords are rarely available in clear text form, if they are available 
at all. A synchronization cannot copy a password into Breeze from another source. There are two 
approaches to handling user authentication in Breeze:
Integrate Breeze with an external authentication system.
Create new passwords for users to log in to Breeze with. These passwords are stored in the 
Breeze database and are specific to the Breeze application.
The password setup policy determines how the synchronization creates passwords for new users. 
These actions are triggered only when a user is first added to Breeze.
