Lost Passwords
NBase-Xyplex access servers are extremely secure. If you should lose your
password, reset the unit back to factory defaults and reconfigure as new.
New passwords should be properly maintained by the system administrator.
Time-Sensitive Passwords
With the time-sensitive password scheme, the user carries a security device
the size of a credit card. The device displays a periodically changing number
in an LCD display. When the user dials in and gives his or her user name,
the access server prompts for a password. The user enters the number
currently showing on the security card. To check the password, the access
server queries a local security server that is running the same algorithm as
the security card. If the passwords match, the user may then use the
network.
NBase-Xyplex remote access products support both dialback security and
time-sensitive passwords. Time-sensitive password protection is provided
using Security Dynamics' SecurID system.
See the Security Features section of the Advanced Congifuration Guide for
detailed information about changing the security default passwords.
