We have very old password system values. I would like to gradually change them. Ideally I would like to avoid forcing everyone to change their passwords on the same day.


If I increase mimimum password length in the system value, what happens to those who's length is too short? Will their password be invalid? Will they have to change it immediately?

Same thing with expiration interval. We don't have any expiration dates so some passwords are probably years old. I plan on changing it in the user profile so that I stagger everyone over a few months. Then after 90 days or so, I change the system value and then go back and change all the user profiles from a number of days to system value.


I did not see a system value that would require a number or special character to be part of the password. Just limits on what cannot be part of the password.

If I have to implement all the changes at once, so be it. I was just trying make it a little easier on my users.

Thanks
