To configure your password before connecting to the client:

1.In the Password Confirmation dialog box, click Reuse to continue using the same password for the same period as previously configured. To enter a new password, click Configure and perform further steps.

2.Enter the new password in the Type new password field.

3.Re-enter the same password in the Confirm new password field.

4.Enter the number of days you want your password to be valid in Password expiry duration. If no value or zero is entered in this field, then the password never expires.

The new password is assigned to you and you are connected to the Application Client. You need to use this new password from the subsequent login.
