How to Implement Password Change Policy in Calem

Password change policy is introduced in the coming release of R2019c.  Administrators can activate a system wide policy to enforce password changes by a time interval. For instance, all users must change their passwords every five months. 

When a user is authenticated from the login screen Calem compares the password change policy and the life span of the password. If the password change is required, a password reset screen is prompted to complete a password change.

Calem Cloud Service customers can have the password change policy activated by Calem Support Team. Customers of on-premise deployment may add the following lines to CalemHome/server/conf/calem.custom.php to enable the password change policy. The frequency to change password (pwd_chg_freq) is in days.
