Manage service passwords

A service password is, contrary to the ZIH password, only valid for a special service (e.g. Wifi). Service passwords are, like the ZIH passwords, managed over the Self Service Portal.

You will find the menu item "Service passwords" after logging in to the Self Service Portal of the ZIH in the navigation on the left side:
Access condition -> Password Management -> Service passwords

Then select the desired service and enter your new service password.

Please note that service passwords must also comply with the ZIH Password Policy, which includes the following rules:

• The password must have a minimal-length of  9 and a maximal length of 127 characters.
• At least character of each of these character-groups must be contained in the password:
  • a - z
  • A - Z
  • 0 - 9
  • ! $ % / ( ) = ? [ ] { } + # < > , ; : . - _
• Other characters, like the whitespace, are not allowed.

The new service password is only synchronized to the connected target system that provides the selected service. This synchronization can take up to one hour.

The  Service Desk can help you with any questions concerning the ZIH account or the service passwords.
