Where are the parameters for the password policy of an SAP HANA tenant database stored?

The parameters for the password policy of an SAP HANA tenant database are stored in the indexserver.ini file. This file is a critical configuration file for the index server in HANA, which is responsible for managing the core database functionalities.

By using the indexserver.ini file, system administrators can configure various settings related to the authentication and security aspects of the database, including password complexity requirements, expiration policies, and account locking mechanisms. This centralized location makes it easier to manage settings specific to the database instance, ensuring that the password policy aligns with organizational security standards.

In contrast, other configurations like config.ini and system.conf may contain general settings that apply globally to the SAP HANA system or provide system-wide configurations, but they do not focus specifically on the password policy of individual tenant databases. Likewise, password_policy.conf is not the standard file used for storing these parameters in SAP HANA; thus, it lacks relevance in this context.
