Modifying the Default Password Policy

You modify the default password policy for every database user account by modifying the password-related attributes of the profile named DEFAULT. You can use Oracle Enteprise Manager Database Express (EM Express) to modify the default password policy.

To modify the default password policy:

1. Log into EM Express with a user account that has privileges to manage the default password policy. An example of such a user account is SYSTEM.

2. In the Security menu, select Profiles.

   The Profiles page appears.

   Note:

   When you are using EM Express to manage a multitenant container database (CDB) and its pluggable databases (PDBs), the Profiles option is available only at the PDB level, because profiles are at the PDB level in a CDB.

3. Select the profile named DEFAULT, and from the Actions menu, select Alter Profile.

   The Alter Profile wizard appears, with the General page showing.

4. Click the right arrow button.

   The Password page appears.

6. Click OK to save your changes.

   A confirmation message appears.
