Password policies in Sage X3 Version 12

By | August 4, 2023

Password policies in Sage X3 refer to the set of rules and guidelines implemented to ensure the security and strength of user passwords within the system. These policies dictate the requirements and restrictions for creating and managing passwords to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data.

The password policies in Sage X3 typically include parameters such as minimum length, complexity, and expiration. They may require users to create passwords that are a minimum number of characters long and contain a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, password expiration policies enforce regular password changes to mitigate the risk of compromised credentials.

By enforcing strong password policies, Sage X3 enhances the overall security posture of the system, reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access and potential data breaches. It encourages users to adopt secure password practices, promotes accountability, and aligns with industry best practices for safeguarding sensitive information.

For accessing the Password policy functionality in sage X3, you need to navigate to below path:

Administration > Administration > Settings > Password Policies function

After navigation to the screen you can set below password policies:

  • Lengths ranges

This ensures that passwords are not too short and increases the difficulty for potential attackers to crack them. It allows to set a minimum length of at least 6 characters and maximum length 128.

  • Complexity

One of the key components of password policies is defining the minimum requirements for password complexity. This typically includes guidelines such as using a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. By enforcing complexity, the system ensures that passwords are not easily guessable.

As shown in figure 2. In Sage X3, At least 3 complexity rules have to be checked from below:

  1. Requires at least one uppercase letter
  2. Requires at least one lower case
  3. Requires at least one number
  4. Requires at least one non-alphanumeric character
  • Black listed passwords

You can import a text file containing a list of weak passwords. You can save the history of passwords more than 3 passwords.

  • Expiration

Defines how many days are left before the password expires. Additionally, a user’s expiration period may be disabled. We can set days to alert before expiration of password.

Sage X3 encourages an organisational culture of good security practises by introducing strong password requirements. These rules aim to protect user accounts, private information, and important business operations from unauthorised access. It is important for organizations to regularly review and update their password policies to align with evolving security best practices and stay ahead of potential threats.

Password policies in Sage X3 are essential for maintaining the security and integrity of user accounts and sensitive data. By implementing strong password requirements, such as minimum length, complexity, and expiration, Sage X3 ensures that user passwords are secure and resistant to unauthorized access. These policies promote good password security and help mitigate the risk of security breaches. Sage X3 shows that it is committed to protecting user accounts and maintaining a secure environment for its users by following industry standards and enforcing password rules.
