Force new users to change
password

If checked, new users must change passwords
the first time they log in to Google Apps.

This allows you to set an initial password,
either from an LDAP attribute or by specifying
a default password for new users, that must be
changed the first time the user logs on to their
Google Apps account.

Use this option if you are using temporary or
one-time passwords.

Default password for new
users

Enter a text string that will serve as the default
password for all new users. If the user does
not have a password in the password attribute,
Directory Sync will use the default password.

Important:

If you enter a default password

here, be sure to enable “Force new users to
change password” so that users will not keep
their default password.

Example:

swordfishX2!

Generated password length

The length, in characters, of randomly
generated passwords. A password is randomly
generated for a user if their password is not
found on your LDAP server and you have not
specified a default password.
