System features

The following new or updated system functionality is included in this release.

Enhanced Password Policy Configuration

This release adds security controls for password requirements and privileged users. System Administrators can configure password requirements for their company. System Administrators and User Administrators can designate users as Privileged Users.

Enhanced Password Validation Controls

When System Administrators select Use TraceLink security to authenticate users as the Authentication Method in Single Sign-On Settings, they can now configure the following security controls:

• Breached Password Check – Prevents users from setting passwords found in known breach databases.

• Username Similarity Check – Prevents users from setting passwords that conflict with supported username-based password validation rules.

Privileged User Password Requirements

Companies can now designate users as Privileged User when those accounts must follow stricter password requirements.

In the General section of the Users, Company Users, User Details screen, System Administrators and User Administrators can now:

• Privileged User – Designate a user as a Privileged User to apply the privileged-user password policy. This designation does not grant additional application roles, permissions, or administrative access.

In Single Sign-On Settings, when Use TraceLink security to authenticate users is selected as the Authentication Method, System Administrators can now:

• Minimum Password Length for Privileged Users – Set a separate minimum password length for users designated as Privileged Users. This setting allows companies to require longer passwords for privileged accounts without changing the minimum password length for other users. If no value is configured, the standard Minimum Password Length applies.

The privileged user password requirements apply when users set their initial password, change their password, or reset a forgotten password. Existing passwords remain valid until the next password rotation, expiration, or reset.

These enhancements provide greater flexibility and help companies enforce stronger, more consistent password security requirements.

Impact analysis

The impacts for these features are the same as Enhanced Password Policy Configuration feature in the Administration, solution version 14.0.0 release.

Enhanced Session Security with IP Address Restriction

This release introduces Restrict Sessions by IP Address, a company-level setting in the General section of Single Sign-On Settings. System Administrators can use Restrict Sessions by IP Address to associate an active user session with the IP address used to establish the session.

If the IP address changes during an active session, the user may be required to authenticate again. Restrict Sessions by IP Address gives System Administrators greater control over session security and helps prevent active sessions from being used from a different IP address.

Impact analysis

The impacts for these features are the same as Enhanced Session Security with IP Address Restriction feature in the Administration, solution version 14.0.0 release.
