Password Change on First Login

Introduction

In Joget, administrators can enforce a policy requiring users to change their passwords upon their first login. This feature enhances security by ensuring that all users create unique passwords upon accessing the system for the first time. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on enabling this feature using the Security Enhanced Directory Manager.

How does it work?

To enforce a password change on the first login, follow these steps:

1. Go to System Settings > Directory Manager Settings.
2. Go to Select Plugin to choose Security Enhanced Directory Manager and click the blue Select button.
   
3. Go to Default Directory Password Policy.
4. Check the box labeled Require change on First Login. This setting will prompt users to change their password when they log in for the first time.
   
5. After making the changes, ensure that you save the configuration.

This feature is particularly useful in scenarios where an administrator creates accounts, and users need to secure their accounts with personal passwords.
