Set up an account policy

The Account Policy page of the WebSphere Commerce Administration Console allows you to set up an account policy. This page lists all existing account policies including any predefined ones supplied with WebSphere Commerce by default. An account policy defines the account-related policies such as password and account lockout policies. On this page:

1. Open the Administration Console.

2. Click Security > Account Policy.

3. On the Account Policy page, click New to create a new account policy.

4. Enter a name for the account policy in the Name field (for example, my_account_policy).

5. From the Password policy menu, select a preexisting password policy.

6. From the Account lockout policy menu, select a preexisting account lockout policy.

7. Click OK.

Once you have created an account policy, you can assign the policy to a user. Note that you cannot delete an account policy if it is in use (that is, a user is assigned to the account policy).
