!!! Overview
A [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] is __NOT__ in effect until you assign it to one or more Entries.
You can assign a password policy to the following Entries. Only one [Universal Password Policy|NspmPasswordPolicy] is effective for a user at a time. NMAS determines which policy is effective for a user by at attribute [nspmPasswordPolicyDN] which determines specific [nspmPasswordPolicy] for the entry according in the __following order__ and applying the first one found: (IN THIS ORDER)
* Specific user assignment: If a password policy has been assigned specifically to the user, that policy is applied.
* Container: If the user has no specific assignment, NMAS applies the policy that is assigned to the container that holds the user.
** If you assign a policy to a container that is not the root of a partition, the policy assignment is __inherited only by users in that specific container__. If you want the policy to apply to all users below a container that is not a partition root, you __must assign__ the policy to each subcontainer individually.
* [Partition Root Entry]: If no policy is assigned to the user or to the container directly above the user, the policy assigned to the partition root container is applied IF present.
** If you assign a policy to a container that is the root of a partition, the policy assignment is inherited by all users in that partition, including users in subcontainers.
* [Login Policy object|sASLoginPolicy]
** We recommend that you create a default password policy for all users in the tree. You do this by creating a policy and assigning it to the [Login Policy object|sASLoginPolicy]. The [Login Policy object|sASLoginPolicy] is located in the Security container just below the root of the tree.
The __first__ [nspmPasswordPolicyDN] value encountered is the [{$pagename}] for the entry.
If are no [nspmPasswordPolicyDN] value encountered then there is no [{$pagename}] for the entry.
