Manage the administrator settings

Use the administrator settings to change the password that we use to access your IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance. Use the settings to also access the length of idle time that is granted to pass before your session times out.

1. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, click Manage > System Settings > Administrator Settings. The Administrator Settings page is displayed.

2. On the Administrator Settings page, type your current password in the Current Password field.

3. Enter new password in the New Password field.

   Set a strong password. It must be at least 8 characters and contain one uppercase and one lowercase character, one numerical character, and one special character. We can try special characters such as !, @, #, or %. The special character cannot be any of the following symbols : <, >, `, &, $, \, ", :, and |.

4. Enter new password in the New Password Confirmation field.

5. In the Session Timeout field, click the arrows to select the amount of time that we are allowed to be idle before we are automatically logged out.
6. Click Save Configuration.
