CredentialsPolicyType (Complex Type)

Namespace: http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3

Credentials management policy. It specifies the management details for each supported credentials type. It defines parameters such as credential lifetime. It may define even a very complex schemes for some credential types. E.g. it may define a complete security questions.

This section is a definition of user credentials that midPoint can MANAGE. Which mostly means writing/changing the credentials. This section is not directly concerned with authentication or credential reset - at least not directly. But there may be dependencies. E.g. password reset may use password policy to generate/validate new password. Also, resource-side passwords need to be defined here to be used by authentication modules.
