# Properties Related to User Passwords

The following is a list of properties that can be used to control functionality related to user passwords.

| **Property** | **Values** | **Description** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **MinimumPasswordLength** | numeric | Set the minimum number of characters a user's password must be.  For reference:  passwords can be up to 20 characters in length. |
| **AdminPasswordsNeverExpire** | true or false | Set to true to ensure that administrator-level users never have their passwords expire. |
| **DaysUntilPasswordsExpire** | numeric | Set the number of days before a user's password expires and must be changed. |
| **PasswordUniquenessLevels** | numeric | Set the number of passwords that are checked for uniqueness when a user tries to create or change a password.  In other words, this property determines how many passwords are kept in a users password history.  Users cannot re-use these passwords when setting a new one. |

Configure one or more of these properties in the INFOMED.properties file on the server:

1. Navigate to the **<Promiso installation folder>/jsp/lib/** folder.
2. Locate the **INFOMED.properties** file and open it in a text editor such as notepad.
3. Configure the desired properties to an appropriate value
4. Save the changes ensuring that the file is saved as INFOMED.properties and not INFOMED.properties.txt.
5. Restart Apache Tomcat in order for the changes to take effect.
