Set Local Authentication Password for Imported Users

Role Required: SDAdmin

You can set a default local authentication password for users imported through AD. Users can change this password after the first login.

To set a local authentication password from the Active Directory configuration page,

1. Hover over the Local Authentication Password fields and click Edit.
   
2. You can choose to generate a random password for every user or set a predefined password for all users.
   
3. Click Save.
   

The local authentication password set for AD imported users is also applicable for users imported from CSV files.  

Ensure that the predefined password meets all requirements of the password policy.

You can enforce users to update their default password after their first login from Security Settings.
