CHAPTER 6 Web-Based Management
Mediant 4000 SBC | User's Manual
You can only perform the configuration described in this section if you are a
management user with Security Administrator level or Master level. For more
information, see
Configuring Management User Accounts .
➢
To configure Web user sessions and access security:
1. Open the Web Settings page ( Setup menu > Administration tab > Web & CLI folder > Web
Settings ).
2. Under the Session group, configure the following parameters:
● 'Password Change Interval': Duration (in minutes) of the validity of the Web login
passwords. When the duration expires, the user must change the password in order to log
in again.
● 'User Inactivity Timeout': If the user has not logged into the Web interface within this
duration, the status of the user becomes inactive and the user can no longer access the
Web interface. The user can only log in to the Web interface if its status is changed (to
New or Valid ) by a Security Administrator or Master user (see Configuring Management
User Accounts ).
● 'Session Timeout': Duration (in minutes) of inactivity (i.e., no actions are performed in the
Web interface) of a logged-in user, after which the Web session expires and the user is
automatically logged off the Web interface and needs to log in again to continue the
session. You can also configure the functionality per user in the Local Users table (see
Configuring Management User Accounts ), which overrides this global setting.
3. Under the Security group, configure the following parameters:
● 'Deny Authentication Timer': Interval (in seconds) that the user needs to wait before
logging in from the same IP address after reaching the maximum number of failed login
attempts (see next step).
● 'Deny Access On Fail Count': Number of failed login attempts (e.g., incorrect username or
password) after which the device blocks access to the user for a user-defined duration
(previous step).
4. Click Apply .
For a detailed description of the above parameters, see Web Parameters .
Changing Login Password by All User Levels
Regardless of your user level (e.g., Monitor or Administrator), you can change your login password
through the Change Password dialog box, accessed from the Web interface's top bar.
