Global Security Settings Policy

All enterprise or multi-user departmental software programs, and all systems containing sensitive University information, must have passwords that comply with OIT’s password standards. These standards, at a minimum, require passwords with at least seven characters, which must be a mix of alphanumeric and special characters. Specific requirements are published at https://oitam.isg.siue.edu/~eid/cgi-bin/change_password. Passwords must be changed every 60 days and cannot be recycled until the sixth cycle. All enterprise or multi-user departmental applications must comply with the enterprise software standards set forth by OIT.
