Configuring Password Requirements in BriteCore

BriteCore allows administrators to enforce password security standards using advanced settings. These settings control password length, character composition, and complexity.

How to Enable and Configure Password Settings

1. Log in as an Admin: Access the BriteCore Admin interface.
2. Navigate to Advanced Settings: Go to Settings > Advanced.
3. Locate the Password Settings: Use the search bar to find the following settings:
   • pass-no-dict: Disallowing the use of dictionary words in user passwords. 
   • pass-length: Enter a numerical value to define the required minimum password length (e.g., 8 for an 8-character minimum).
   • pass-punct-char: Set to True to require at least one punctuation mark in all passwords.
   • pass-alphanumeric: Set to True to enforce passwords containing:
     • At least 2 alphabetic characters.
     • At least 2 numeric characters.
     • Only letters and numbers (no other characters allowed).
4. Save Changes: After configuring the desired settings, click Save to apply them.

How It Works

• pass-length: Ensures all user passwords meet or exceed the specified length. Users entering shorter passwords will be prompted to create a longer one.
• pass-punct-char: Enforces the inclusion of at least one punctuation mark (e.g., !, @, #) for additional complexity.
• pass-alphanumeric: Limits passwords to letters and numbers while requiring a minimum of 2 of each type.
• pass-no-dict: Enforce password security by disallowing the use of dictionary words in user passwords. This ensures stronger, less predictable passwords, enhancing overall system security.

Related Settings

• no-autocomplete:
  Administrators can disable autofill for the Sign In screen, requiring users to retype their username and password each time they log in. This adds an extra layer of security by preventing browsers from automatically populating login credentials.
• session-timeout:
  Administrators can define the session length for logged-in users by setting a numerical value (in minutes). Once the specified time expires, the user will be automatically logged out of the system. To support quoting workflows, it’s recommended to set the value to at least 60 minutes. This setting ensures both security and efficient session management.
