While creating the new user in HANA studio, we have three types of Authentication.
- Password
- Kerberos (Third-party authentication provider)
- SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)
Exhibit: 1
Every database user is identified with in the database by Authentication based on username and password.
In this document we will be concentrating on password and its policy parameters.
Passwords are subjected to security rules and are configured using the parameters in system properties files indexserver.ini. To have a look, let us open the "Administration Console" perspective -> Configuration tab -> Expand Indexserver.ini -> Expand password policy and you find 11 parameters in it.
