Familiarize yourself with the password policies of systems you are using as part of a Maximo® Asset Management deployment.
Your organization might have password policy regulations that are enforced on systems on your network. Before deploying Maximo Asset Management, be sure that you are familiar with the password policies of systems that are used in the deployment.
For example, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 systems have a stricter set of password requirements than previous versions configured by default. If you are not familiar with these stronger password requirements, you might experience an error during the installation of Maximo Asset Management. This error occurs when you create users on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 system.
Password values that you provide during the Maximo Asset Management installation and configuration must be compliant with the password policies set for the target system. Passwords are not validated against the password policies of target systems at the time you enter them on the installation and configuration program panels. If your passwords do not conform to the password policies, errors occur when the installation or configuration program attempts to create these passwords.
