3. In the Organization Name field, enter the name of the organization.

4. From the Type list, select the type of the organization, such as Branch, Company, or Department.

6. (Optional) Select a user in the Certifier User Login field to specify the selected user as the organization certifier of the organization being created. This option is available when Oracle Identity Manager uses DB identity store.

   See "Setting User Manager and Organization Certifier" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for information about organization certifier.

7. Organization can control password behavior of the users entering into it by using home organization modification of the user. If the Home Organization of a user gets changed from one organization to other, and the password policies attached to these two organizations are different, then the Enforce password policy flag of the new home organization will determine if the user has to change the password as per the password policy of the new home organization at the next logon or user can continue using the same password.

   Select the Enforce password policy on reassignment from the drop down. Options are, Inherit from Parent Org, No, or Yes. Default value is Yes.

   • If Enforce password policy on reassignment is Yes, then the user has to change password as per the password policy of the new home organization at the first login after home organization is changed.

     
     

     Note: In case, challenge policy is enabled in the password policy of new home organization, then new password and challenge question has to be set at the first login.

     
     

   • If Enforce password policy on reassignment is No, then user can continue using the existing password.

   • If Enforce password policy on reassignment is Inherit from Parent Org, then value Yes or No is inherited from its nearest parent where it is set.

8. Specify a password policy name that you want to associate with the organization. To do so:

   1. Click the search icon next to the Password Policy Name field. The Search Password Policy Name dialog box is displayed.

   2. Search and select the password policy that you want to associate with the organization. To list all password policies, you can click the search icon, and then you can select the password policy from the search results.

      For information on how to create a new password policy see, Managing Password Policies.

   3. Click Add. The selected password policy name is added to the Password Policy Name field.
