Password policies¶

This section configures the various Password policies available to users in GeoServer. New password policies can be added or renamed, and existing policies edited or removed.

By default there are two password policies in effect, default and master. The default password policy, intended for most GeoServer users, does not have any active password constraints. The master password policy, intended for the Root account, specifies a minimum password length of eight characters. Password policies are applied to users via the user/group service.

Clicking an existing policy enables editing, while clicking the Add new button will create a new password policy.
