Implications
The HEIMS login script or Get CHESSN Button allows for Paradigm to login to the HEIMS portal and obtain CHESSNs automatically for students as required. To maintain a high level of security HEIMS requires the password be updated every 28 days.
The requirements to change the password are:
the current password in order to set the new one.
A minimum of 8 characters.
At least one numeric character.
At least one special character.
At least one uppercase character.
And must be different to the previous 10 passwords used.
The system records when the password was last changed to help with resetting reminders.
Workflow
It is suggested that a calendar reminder be set for updating the password as it expires every 28 days.
