Enabling Password Complexity in ReadyPay / RPO

Turning on Password Complexity​

The password complexity check is turned on in the database. The first value is always going to be PwdComplex, while the second argument (below it's an 8) is the minimum length the password can be. If you have 0, no complexity check is done.

INSERT INTO dbflags (label, i1)
VALUES ('PwdComplex', 8)

Changing the password under Help > Change Password will not require you to change on next login.

Password Complexity​

If the password policy complexity flag is found on any given database, passwords must exceed or match the specified length and contain three of the four categories of characters:

  • upper case alpha
  • lower case alpha
  • number
  • special characters (i.e. !@#$%&*)
note

The dbflags table is not something that syncs back and forth. If you are looking to implement password complexity the query must be run on both the ReadyPay database and against RPO.
