Setting up password complexity

You can set up minimum complexity requirements for MobileTech passwords, such as requiring digits, upper case letters, special characters, and password length in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Signature\MobileTech\RescoCloud\Web Sync Server web.config and C:\Program Files (x86)\Signature\MobileTech\Admin\MobileTechAdmin.exe.config files using a regex (regular expression) check. 

...

Note

User password strength regex check (empty allows any password). This value defaults empty.

...

Example:

The settings in the sample below are explained. You are not limited to these settings.

...

Set up your password lockout policy to indicate a lockout mode (Lockout or Disable), after x failed login attempts, as well as how many minutes a user's account is locked. These setup options are in the Signature MobileTech Web Sync Server web.config file. The Password Policy Lockout Attempts setting will also need to be set in the MobileTechAdmin.exe.config file.

...

  • Password Policy Lockout Mode - This
    This setting has two possible values – Lockout and Disable. This setting works in conjunction with the PasswordLockoutAttempts setting. The default value is Lockout.
    <add key="PasswordPolicyLockoutMode" value="Lockout" />
    • Lockout - When
      When the setting is set to Lockout and the Lockout Attempts value is hit, the account will be locked out until the PasswordLockoutDuration value has been reached. This value is in minutes. The system administrator can unlock the user in the user profile.
    • Disabled - When
      When the setting is set to Disable and the Lockout Attempts value is hit, the system administrator will need to enable the user in the user profile.

  • Password Policy Lockout Attempts - Sets
    Sets the number of invalid logon attempts that are allowed before an account is locked out. The default value is 3. 
    <add key="PasswordPolicyLockoutAttempts" value="3" />

    Note

    The Password Lockout Attempts setting needs to be set up in both the Signature MobileTech Web Sync Server web.config and MobileTechAdmin.exe.config files.


  • Password Policy Lockout Duration - Sets the length of time (minutes) the account is locked. The default value is 6010 minutes. This setting is used in conjunction with the Lockout mode.
    <add key="PasswordPolicyLockoutDuration" value="6010" />
