Note

IPM Password Policy configuration can be lost after a restore operation. This can cause the Management UI to fail to authenticate and display a blank gray screen. After performing a restore, reconfigure the Password Policy from the IPM Settings screen. Be sure to save it, even if it already looks correct.
