Abstract
Methods and systems for establishing a consistent password policy. A plurality of password policies is described in a computer usable password policy data structure. The computer usable password policy data structure is accessed by a password policy enforcement agent. Optionally, the computer usable password policy data structure is validated for authenticity by the password policy enforcement agent. Optionally, the password policy enforcement agent can report back to a centralized configuration and aggregation point repository in order to provide a consistent view of policy enforcement.
