Properties - Advanced

On the Advanced tab of the database properties, you can define password policy settings and configure a second password.

Password Policy

Passwords hidden by default: If this option is checked, passwords are hidden and displayed as asterisks (***). If it is unchecked, passwords will be shown in plain text. However, this is not recommended for security reasons.
Check password resistance to dictionary attacks: If you activate this option, the software will check every password for character strings that may be part of a dictionary and warn you if any are found.
Force new/edited passwords to comply with the following policies: If you enable this option, all new or modified passwords will be checked for compliance with the parameters defined below. When a password does not meet the defined policy, you will be prompted to modify it.
- Minimum length: Define how many characters a password must contain at minimum.
- Password must include: Define which character types a password must contain. The available types are:
  - Lowercase
  - Uppercase
  - Special
  - Numbers
  Then choose one of the following options:
  - At least [number] of the selected character types: The password must include at least the specified number of the selected character types (1–4).
  - All selected character types: The password must include all character types checked above.
- Exclude characters: Enable this option and enter the characters that should not be used in passwords (e.g., oO0LlI1 or other easily confused characters).

Authorized users have to set a second password: Enable this option to protect the database with an additional second password. This way, Enterprise Server databases can be protected from uncontrolled access by the super-admin.
