CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS (Cont.)
Password Retries
This allows the user to set the number of retries allowed after a failed attempt to enter a
password. The choices are '3 times' and 'unlimited'. When set to 3 times, the user login is
disabled after four incorrect attempts to enter the password have been made. A 'System
Message' appears on the screen and is also sent to the 'chart':
02/10/03 13:20:42 User Frederick Bloggs, login disabled, invalid password
In order to re-enable the login, a user with Engineer access level must deselect 'Login
Disable' in the '
' menu described in section 4.4.1, above.
Passwords expire
This field allows the user to set an expiry period of up to 999 days which applies to all pass-
words. The number of days remaining to expiry is shown in the login page. If set to zero,
then the expiry period does not apply.
Note: All required passwords MUST be changed within this number of days or all logins will be disabled In
this situation, the configuration of the recorder will be available only to those with Service Level access and
in most cases, a call will have to be made to the recorder supplier or service agency. (But see '
, below)
Minimum Password Length This allows a minimum length of password to be entered. If an attempt is made to enter a
new password with fewer characters than the minimum, a warning message appears on the
screen (Invalid Password Length) and the new password is ignored. For units with the Auditor
Pack option fitted, the minimum password length cannot be set to less than 3.
Require Signing
If this field is enabled, then changes to the recorder operation, configuration (or any other item
included in the history file) can be made only by those users whose 'Can Sign' permission is
enabled in the '
' menu described in section 4.4.1 above. When 'Apply' is attempted, a
'signature' page appears which requires the entry of the correct password for the selected user,
and of a note which would normally be used to give the reason for the change.
Require Authorization
This field appears only if 'Require Signing' is enabled. If Require Authorization is enabled,
then changes to the recorder operation, configuration (or any other item included in the history
file) can be made only by those users whose 'Can Authorize' permission is enabled in the
'
' menu described in section 4.4.1 above. When 'Apply' is attempted, a 'signature' page
(figure 4.4.2b) appears which requires the entry of the correct password for the selected user,
and a note which would normally be used to give the reason for the change.
Note: If neither 'Require Signing' nor 'Require Authorization' is enabled, then any user can make changes to
the recorder operation, configuration etc. and the 'signature' page does not appear.
