Does pega password policy (security policy) applicable for operators with external authentication?
Hi All,
We need to enable password policy for our application.
Need to enable "authentication lockout penalty mechanism". need to know whether this setting affects operators with external authentication enabled?

Hi Pasindu,
External authentication does not use the PRPC security policy. When a user has "External Authentication" flag set on their Data-Admin-Operator-ID record the Password stored in the same record is not used to authentication within PRPC. For example with LDAP the password the user provided on the PRPC SSO Login page, provided by configuration in the Data-Admin-AuthService, is just passed to the LDAP server for verification. The LDAP server security policies take affect. Same with other third part security software like Siteminder, WebSEAL as these require authentication before even being allowed to access any resource on site they are protecting. These have their own security policies etc.

I realize this is an older post, but I had an add-on question. We are running 6.2SP2 with external authentication. This thread does answer most of my questions, though I do have one question.
If I want to increase audit from "Basic" to "Advanced", will PRPC record successful logins?
Thanks
