There are two separate flags that control the maximum number of repeated characters permitted in a 
password, one for the user password and one for the chairperson (conference) password.

● MAX_PASSWORD_REPEATED_CHAR allows the administrator to configure the maximum number 

of consecutive repeating characters to be allowed in a user password.
Range: 1 - 4
Default: 2

● MAX_CONF_PASSWORD_REPEATED_DIGITS allows the administrator to configure the maximum 

number of consecutive repeating digits to be allowed in a conference password.
Range: 1 - 4
Default: 2

The frequency with which a user can change a password is determined by the value of the 
MIN_PWD_CHANGE_FREQUENCY_IN_DAYS System Flag. The value of the flag is the number of days 
that users must retain a password.

● Possible retention period is between 0 and 7 days. In Ultra Secure Mode the retention period is 

between 1 (default) and 7.

● If the System Flag is set to 0, users do not have to change their passwords. The System Flag cannot 

be set to 0 when the Collaboration Server is in Ultra Secure Mode.

● If a user attempts to change a password within the time period specified by this flag, the error 

Password change is not allowed before defined min time has passed is displayed.

An administrator can assign a new password to a user at any time.

When the system is in Ultra Secure Mode the user is forced to change his/her password as follows:

● After modifying the value of the ULTRA_SECURE_MODE System Flag to YES, all Collaboration 

Server users are forced to change their Login passwords. 

● When an administrator creates a new user, the user is forced to change his/her password on first 

Login.

● If an administrator changes a users User ID name, that user is forced to change his/her password on 

his/her next Login.

● If a user logs in using his/her old or default password, the Login attempt will fail. The error User must 

change password is displayed.

● Changes made by the administrator to any of the Strong Password enforcement System Flags render 

users’ passwords invalid.

Example: A user is logged in with a fifteen character password. The administrator changes the value of the 
MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH System Flag to 20.

The next time the user tries to log in, he/she is forced to change his/her password to meet the updated 
Strong Password requirements.
