Annex Communications Server R10.0B and Annex Host Tools R14.2 Release Notes

Blacklisting and Password History
Two new security features, user blacklisting and password history,
have been added to the ACP security functionality. The blacklisting
enhancement logs and monitors the number of failed login attempts for
users. The administrator may configure erpcd to disallow a user from
logging into the system based on the number of consecutive failed
login attempts, or the total number of failures over a period of time.
An acp_dbm utility was added to access the database used to store
the user's login history. This feature is not enabled by default.
ch_passwd
The ch_passwd utility has been enhanced to keep a history of a user's
passwords and can be configured to prevent a user from setting a
previously used password. This feature is not enabled by default
unless the system uses shadow passwords.
One-to-Many Dynamic Dial-up Routing
The Annex now provides for dynamic dialout to multiple destinations
via a single modem or modem pool.
Chap Security for PPP
This feature allows for the use of encrypted passwords for PPP.
Enigma Security
The Annex can now authenticate a user via the Enigma SafeWord
Authentication Server.
