What is Password History Check?

The Administrators can enforce Password History Check when an End Users resets the SummitAI application password. Based on the organization’s password policy, the Password History Check can be performed, not allowing the user to reset his password to last n passwords, where, n is the last n number of passwords not allowed.

Example:

If Password History Check is enabled, and as per the organization’s Password Policy, the End User cannot change his password to last 3 passwords.

Note:

• The Password History Check can be enabled only for the End Users trying to change their passwords.

• The Password History Check (even if enabled) is not applicable for Master Reset (where Administrators are resetting password for End Users) and For Manager Approval (where Passwords are sent to the End Users’ Managers and Managers provides the passwords to the End Users).

• The Password History Check works on AD Server Operating System Windows 2012 and above.

• The Password History Check works only on non-SSL AD system.

Configuration

• Based on the customer’s request to enable Password History check, the SummitAI Team needs to set the following key to True:
  <add key="PwdMgmt:IsPwdHistoryEnforceEnabled" value=""/>
  The default value of the key is False.
