The Dynamic Password Controller checks the validity of stored passwords and SSH Keys regularly. If the password was changed without the Dynamic Password Controller, an alarm is generated, and a notification is sent to the system administrator. 


To configure the password validity check: 

1. Navigate to **SAPM Management **> **SAPM Management**.
2. Open the **SAPM Configuration** tab.
3. Select the SAPM Configuration, and click **Options** > **Show Properties**.
4. Set **check.password.validation** as true to check password validity.

There is a job called **SAPM\_PasswordCheckJob** that checks the validity of passwords. By configuring this job, the frequency of the password validation check can be defined.

1. Navigate to **Administration **> **Job Scheduler**.
2. Choose **SAPM\_PasswordCheckJob **and click** Options** and **Edit** buttons.
3. Set the frequency of the job from the cron expression section.
