Generally
Administration tool function System configuration - Password configuration is used to set the requirements that apply to the users' passwords in the system. The function only applies to installations where user authentication takes place against The invoice application user tables, in cases where Single Sign On is applied, this function does not apply because the administration of basic user data and passwords then takes place via Active Directory on the network.
Mainly the menu option Password configuration is used in connection with the installation and basic configuration of the system, after that the settings of the function rarely or never need to be changed.
