Password Policies for Service Account/User Account

[GOE]

Hello,

Can you create different password policies, one for service accounts and the other for users? Also, where are password policies for service accounts set? 

Thanks

Yes you can create password policy

Yes you can have different password policy for service account & normal account 

Policy rule = normal account

Policy Rule Service Account = Service Account

A follow up on this question - When creating a password policy for service account, will the policy scope be set on the user level or application?

[rushikeshvartak]

Application.

Saviynt allows you to define password policies for the following:

• Application

• User

Application password policies are attached to the security systems, and the User password policies are linked with the respective users.

Okay, got it. So can another password policy be created for Saviynt itself?

[rushikeshvartak]

Yes.

[GOE]

Okay great. Where does that get attached?

[rushikeshvartak]

Its already answered refer reply 1

But that's within another application right? I meant with Saviynt as an application and it's service account

[rushikeshvartak]

For Saviynt you can define policy per users so based on user type normal / service account you can attach policy

[GOE]

okay, would that be set in the global config?

[rushikeshvartak]

Only 1 Password policy for user But for account you can have 2 policy 

[GOE]

Okay, will I need a saviyntforsaviynt application to set that up? Still unclear as to where that gets attached.

[rushikeshvartak · Accepted solution]

Yes using sav4sav you can attach policy for account (normal & service)
