NexLog Recorder User Manual v2.2.0
Front Panel auto-login user
: The user that will be automatically logged on.
Many installations with high security requirements change the auto-login user
to an unprivileged user that can just monitor channel activity.
Auto logout after timeout
: If Front Panel Logins are required, this is the
number of seconds of inactivity before the user will be automatically logged out.
This cannot be disabled, but can be set arbitrarily high to achieve the same
effect.
Password Complexity
This section configures restrictions on NexLog passwords. If the "Enable
Password complexity" option is disabled, then the only requirement on user
passwords is that passwords contain at least three characters so trivial
passwords such as 123 are allowed. If this option is enabled, further restrictions
can be applied. Note that password complexity constraints are enforced at
password creation or modification time. Newly configured password constraints
will not have any effect on existing user passwords until the users attempt to
change their password. When enabled, this option enforces basic "no dictionary
words" password complexity constraints. In addition, additional configurable
constraints can be enabled. Password complexity changes the configurable
password restrictions are configured as follows:
Minimum Length
: The minimum total number of characters a password must
contain
Minimum Digits
: The numerical characters 0-9 are considered digits. If this
setting is greater than zero, then any password must contain at least that many
digit characters to be allowed.
Minimum Lowercase Characters
: Any password must contain at least this
number of lowercase characters (a-z)
Minimum Uppercase Characters
: Any password must contain at least this
number of uppercase characters (A-Z)
Minimum Special Characters
: Special Characters are the non-numeric, non-
alphabetical characters that are available on the keyboard and result in a glyph
being entered. For example !@#$%^&*() are all Special Characters, but the CTRL
key is not since it does not result in the insertion of a glyph when pressed. This
setting indicates the minimum number of special characters that a password is
required to contain.
Aging
The Password Aging sub header provides configuration options for the "Aging" or
"Time Limiting" of passwords. If this option is enabled via the "Enable Password
Aging" checkbox, users the system will require that users change their password
on a certain configured schedule to continue to access the system. The
configurable options are:
