Partner Announcements
JumpCloud - Password Originality
JumpCloud clarified the functionality within the Admin Console that allows an admin to decide if a username in a password is permissible for their users. In the AdminConsole>Settings>Security>Password Originality the setting relevant to this functionality has been modified to have the admin opt in to “Allow username within password”. The previous behavior of the setting, when selected, allowed the username to be included in the password although the wording stated that it was not allowed.
