Configuring Administrator Settings

Use the Administrator Settings page to modify the username and password for the default administrator account and configure the user session settings. The user session settings are applicable for all authentication methods.

NOTE At your first login, you must change the default administrator password for security purposes. The Administrator Settings page provides another approach to modify the username and password for the default administrator account, but not for the first login.

STEP 1 Click Device Management > Administration > Administrator Settings.

STEP 2 To update your password, enter the following information in the Administrator Name and Password area:

User Name: Enter the current username of the default administrator account, or enter a new username if you want to change it.

Current Password: Enter the current administrator password.

New Password: Enter a new administrator password. Passwords are case sensitive.

NOTE: A password requires a minimum of 8 characters, including at least

three of these character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters. Do not repeat any password more than three times in a row. Do not set the password as the username or “cisco.” Do not capitalize or spell these words backwards.

Confirm New Password: Enter the new password again for confirmation.

STEP 3 To modify the user session settings, enter the following information in the Session area:

Inactivity Timeout: Enter the time in minutes that the user can be inactive before the session is disconnected. The default value is 15 minutes. A value of zero (0) indicates that the user is always active before the session is disconnected.

Limit Login Session for Web Logins: Click On to limit the time that the user can be logged into the security appliance through a web browser. Enter the time in minutes in the Login Session Limit field. The default value is 10 minutes. A value of zero (0) indicates that there is no limit for web login sessions.
