In the Security & Control module of the Kore.ai Bots Admin Console, you can add or modify password policies, configure Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for your domain users, and configure and install the Kore.ai Connector agent for Bot communications between Kore.ai and your on-premises applications using custom Kore.ai Bots.
The following illustration shows an example of the Password Policy page in the Security & Control module in the Bots Admin Console.
The Security module is comprised of the following pages:
Password Policy Page
On the Kore.ai Password Policy page in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console, you can define and enable minimum password length, requirements for inclusion of special characters, and password expiration policies for Kore.ai account passwords used to log on Kore.ai when Single Sign-On is not used.
Defining a Password Policy
On the Kore.ai Password Policy page in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console, you can define and enable minimum password length, the requirement for inclusion of special characters, and password expiration policies for Kore.ai account passwords used to log on Kore.ai when Single Sign-On (SSO) is not used.
Kore.ai password policies give you the capability to ensure all Kore.ai account passwords of users in your account are complex and secure.
You can define password policies to ensure users of your account create and use complex passwords. Long passwords with numerical, alphabetical, and special characters can help to prevent access to Kore.ai accounts by malicious attackers.
The following illustration shows the controls on the Password Policy page in the Security & Control module of the Bots Admin Console.
Password Policy Page Controls
The following table describes the Password Policy page controls.

Enable Password Policies
Password policies for Kore.ai managed users can only be defined if Single Sign-On (SSO) is disabled because authentication, including password policy is part of the SSO configuration. To enable password policies for managed users, you must disable SSO authentication.
When SSO is disabled, you can define the settings for managed user password policies as shown in the following illustration.

If you are using Single Sign-On, you must first disable Single Sign-On before you can create a password policy.
