Account Policy

In the Account Policy section, system administrators can set policies governing usernames and passwords.

The meanings of the Account Policy entries are explained in the table below:

Entry

Explanation

 

 

Minimum Username Length

Sets the minimum number of characters required for

 

a username. Acceptable values are from 1–16. The

 

default is 6.

 

 

Minimum Password Length

Sets the minimum number of characters required for

 

a password. Acceptable values are from 0–16. A

 

setting of 0 means that no password is required, and

 

users can login with only a Username. The default is

 

6.

 

 

Password Must Contain At

Checking any of these items requires users to

Least

include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase

 

letter or one number in their password.

 

Note: This policy does not affect existing user

 

accounts. Only new user accounts created after this

 

policy has been enabled, and users required to

 

change their passwords are affected.

 

 

Disable Duplicate Login

Check this to prevent users from logging in with the

 

same account at the same time.
