Chapter 4. Configuration

Account Policy

Set the parameters for the username and password.

ŠMinimum Username Length: Enter the minimum number (0 - 16) of characters required for a username (default is 6).

ŠMinimum Password Length: Enter the minimum number (0 - 16) of characters required for a password (default is 6).

ŠCheck whether the password must contain at least: One Upper Case, One Lower Case; and/or One Number character.

Note: This policy only affects user accounts created after this policy has been enabled, as well as password changes to existing user accounts.

Check Disable Duplicate Login to ensure that only one session for each user account is active. This prevents users from logging in with the same account at the same time.

Encryption

These flexible encryption alternatives for keyboard/mouse, video, and virtual media data let you choose any combination of DES; 3DES; AES; RC4; or a Random cycle of any or all of them.

Enabling encryption will affect system performance – no encryption offers the best performance; the greater the encryption, the greater the adverse effect. If you enable encryption, the performance considerations (going from best to worst) are as follows:

ŠRC4 offers the least performance impact; DES is next; then 3DES or AES

ŠThe RC4 + DES combination offers the least impact of any combination
