	<GeneralSection><Paragraph class="Default">An ERP LN user must be linked to an Operating System user. If you log on to the ERP LN application server using the logon procedure of WebTop or WorkTop you have to supply a password. The password that you have to supply is not a special ERP LN user password, but it is really the Operating System password.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">One of the System Administrator tasks is to define the password policy for the organisation.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>The password policy includes:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Restricted passwords, for example you are enforced to supply a password of at least 6 characters and you are enforced to enter at least one numeric or special character in the password.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Password history, for example you can not re-use recently used passwords.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/tt/glossary/glossary#password_aging" role="glossary">Password aging</Link>, for example you are enforced to change your password every two months.</ListItem>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>To change your password</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph class="Default">A System Administrator can give you a new password. You can change your own password if the System Administrator has given permission to change the password.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph class="Default">To change your own password, you must run the <Link href="/baanerp/tt/stp/ttstpchangepw" role="session">Change Password (ttstpchangepw)</Link> session. This session prompts for the current password and then prompts for the new password twice.</Paragraph>

				<Paragraph class="Default">The session checks whether your user account is used to log on to a remote system. If so, the corresponding password in the Remote User Data (ttaad201) table is updated automatically.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph class="Default">Only run this session on a Master Application Server (MAS). If you run this session on an application server (AS), only the password in the remote user data on the AS is changed. The password on the MAS is not updated. As a result, you cannot log on to the MAS anymore.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph class="Default">If the <Code>passwd</Code> command in the UNIX operating system of the ERP LN server expects input parameters other than <Code>old password</Code>- <Code>new password</Code>- <Code>new password</Code>, an error message is displayed. For details, refer to the online help of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tt/stp/ttstpchangepw" role="session">Change Password (ttstpchangepw)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
