Before you can randomize passwords, configure the Local User Inventory to populate resources (and to be able to match the password with the resource). If you are setting up the Password Randomization Policy for the first time, set the interval (the frequency that the Password Randomization Policy is run) between 1 and 7 days. If you have a frequently changing environment, such as a test environment, make the interval shorter. Randomizing passwords at regular intervals ensures that passwords can't be exploited to gain access to valuable network resources. If you have a highly sensitive environment, where users aren't being added or removed a lot, then increase the interval length.

To randomize passwords, do the following steps:

1. From the Arellia Security Management Console, go to the Policies tab.
2. Navigate to Arellia / Local Security / Policies / Randomize Administrator Password.
3. From the The Randomize Administrator Password window , you can configure all of the Settings listed aboveis divided into three parts: Settings, Schedules, and Applied To. From Settings, choose the type of User account, the minimum password length, password complexity, and whether to log the new randomized password at the server.
4. From Schedules, configure a schedule when the password randomization command will occur (this includes setting the interval or frequency that the Password Randomization Policy is run).
5. From Applied To, configure either Targets or Resources to apply password randomization.
6. Enable the policy, by ensuring the green toggle is on.
7. Save the policy. Passwords will be randomized on the set schedule.
