Rules for usernames and passwords
Usernames must be 1-15 characters. A normal user’s password must have 6-15 characters or be set
as a blank password. See
Setting Blank Passwords on page 68 for more information. The
administrator’s password must have 6-15 characters and cannot be set as a blank password.
You may use special characters in the username and password. However, in some cases, you may
need to press the key twice to enter the character. See
LDAP usernames and passwords on page 90
for more information.
Usernames and passwords may not contain spaces, quotation marks or exclamation points.
LDAP usernames and passwords
When entering your LDAP username and password, you will need to press some keys twice to
enable characters, such as é or á, to be displayed on the OSCAR interface without requiring a
keyboard containing these characters. If you need to use one of these characters in your username
or password, press the key twice and then erase the second character.
Merge mode conflict resolution
The System Synchronization command in AMWorks software can be used to (1) merge all existing
individual databases residing on the AMWorks software and on the matrix switches and re-
distribute the new database, or (2) replace all existing individual databases that reside on the
AMWorks software and on the matrix switches with a pre-selected database. The System
Synchronization Database - Merge Synchronization mode automatically detects, resolves and logs
conflicts in user passwords, administrator passwords and user-to-server permissions as shown in
the following table.
