    DescriptionThe description of the profile.
  5. In the Configure Profile Parameters page, enter the following details, and click Submit:
    FieldDescription
    Password Settings: These settings are available only when you select the Password Required check box.
    Password RequiredSelect this check box if the managed mobile device user must have a password set for the mobile device.
    Minimum Password LengthEnter a value for the minimum length of the password.
    Password StrengthSelect the type of characters the user must use when creating the password. The password quality and the password length determine the total password complexity.
    Maximum Failed Password AttemptsEnter a value that defines the maximum number of times a user can enter a wrong password, after which the device is reset to factory settings.
    Screen Settings: This setting determines the time a device can remain in idle state.
    Maximum Inactivity Time Lock

    Enter the time (in minutes) the device can remain in idle state, after which the device is locked automatically.

    The maximum inactivity time set on the device overrides the Maximum Inactivity Time Lock value that you set in the profile, if the inactivity time already set on the device is greater than this value.

    An end-user might not be able to view the Maximum Inactivity Time Lock value that you set in the profile on the device because of device limitations.

    Operational Settings: These setting can be applied only if HPCA can contact the device. At any instance, you can apply only one of the operational settings. All other settings on this page are disabled.
