  5. Select the Select if you want to allow us... check box to send an email to the user you created. The email is sent from noreply@mail.cloudservices.marklogic.com. The email will contain a link to your DHS portal where the user can set their password.
    Password Requirements
    • At least eight characters.
    • At least one upper-case letter.
    • At least one lower-case letter.
    • At least one number.
    • At least one special character (!, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, ?).
    Important: The link to set the password will expire within 10 minutes of receiving the email.

    If the link to set the portal user's password expires, the SEC-ADMIN must reset the password for the portal user (Reset a Password - Portal User Account). MarkLogic recommends the portal user changes the password after their first log in (Change My Password - Portal User Account).

    Important: The SEC-ADMIN must reset the portal user's password if the following occurs:
    • The SEC-ADMIN does not select the Select if you want to allow us... check box.
    • The portal user does not click the emailed link within 10 minutes.

    See Reset a Password - Portal User Account.
