Configuring Password and PIN Parameters
Cisco Unity Express supports the configuration of the password and personal identification number
(PIN) parameters described in the following sections:
• Configuring Password and PIN Length and Expiry Time, page 12
• Configuring Enhanced PIN Validation, page 14
• Configuring Password and PIN Protection Lockout Modes, page 16

Note If you change a Cisco Unified CME user’s password on Cisco Unity Express with Configure --> Users,
the password for that user is updated on Cisco Unified CME. However, the reverse is not true: a user
password changed on Cisco Unified CME will not be updated to Cisco Unity Express.
Note For instructions on configuring PINless voicemail, see “Configuring PINless Mailbox Access” section
on page 13.
Configuring Password and PIN Length and Expiry Time
Cisco Unity Express supports configuring the following two attributes of password and PIN:
• Minimum password and PIN length
To support enhanced security procedures, Cisco Unity Express has made the password and PIN
length configurable. The administrator can configure the length to a value greater than or equal to
3
alphanumeric characters. This is a system-wide value, so that all subscribers must have passwords
and PINs of at least that many characters. Use the GUI Defaults > User option or the procedure
described below to configure this length.
The password length does not have to equal the PIN length.
