Assign Local Security Policy for Non-Domain Installations

For local users, you need to assign a local security policy. For domain user installations, these policies are likely managed by your domain administrator. Accordingly, if you are on a domain, you do not need to make these changes.

1. Start a PowerShell session as an administrator.

2. Type the following:

   secpol.msc

   The Local Security Policy window opens.

3. Select Security Settings, Account Policies, and then Password Policy.

   

AVEVA recommends the following guidelines:

• It is recommended that Account Password Policies are set to align with your organization’s password complexity mandate.

• It is further recommended that User Account passwords have expiry dates.

  With these settings, passwords are required to be reset on a specific frequency.
