Setting password parameters

The password parameters that you set here apply to everyone who accesses the system: employees entering their own time and expenses and approving others’ time and expenses, group time/expense keepers, and administrators.

When a user changes his/her password in the web application, the Change Password screen displays the password requirements that you indicate on the Parameter Setup screen. If a user requests a new, temporary password from the web application, then the email that the system sends also shows the password requirements.

Follow these instructions to set parameters that affect JAMIS e-timecard passwords. You can read more detailed explanations of these password parameters.

To set password parameters

1. From the JAMIS Administration home page > Setup tab, under Application Setup, click Parameter setup. Or, from the top of any JAMIS Administration screen, click Application Setup > Parameter Setup. The Parameter Setup screen appears.

2. Click the Passwords tab.

3. Select an option from the At least one character of this type in password dropdown list to determine if you want to require numeric, alphabetical, or special characters in passwords.

4. Select a number between 1 and 10 from the Minimum password length dropdown list.

5. Select either Mixed Case or None from the Password case requirement dropdown list to determine if you want to require both upper and lower case letters in passwords.

6. Click the Password cannot contain employee ID or user ID check box if you wish.

7. Enter a number in the Number of days allowed for password reuse field to determine the number of days before a user can reuse a previously used password.

8. The Hide employee password reset button field defaults to turned off, meaning that the reset options appear on the Employee Details screen and the User ID Setup screen. To hide the reset options on those screens, turn on this check box.

9. Click Save.
