In the applications you develop with Kuika, you can use Password Policy to enable users to create strong passwords, protect these passwords and determine the frequency of renewal. In this course, you will learn how to create passwords.
This training content consists of the following topics:
Adding a password policy to an application,
Password policy settings.
Add Password Policy to Your App
Follow these steps to add a password policy to your app:
After logging into the Kuika platform, open the project you will work with from the “Apps” screen.
Then click on the “Configuration Manager” module.
From the screen that opens, give a name (1) to the configuration and click the “CREATE” (2) button.
Go to the App Settings tab of the configuration to which you want to add a password policy.
On the screen that opens, go to the Authentication & Authorization section and click on the drop-down menu titled Password Policy. This menu will list the password policies you have previously created.
If you have not created a password policy before, you can create a new password policy by clicking ADD NEW.
