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
Least Checking any of these items requires users to
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.
Enforce Password History Check this box and enter the number of times a
unique password must be created before an old
password can be used again. The number
represents the number of passwords that the system
will remember to enforce the password history
requirement.
