Remote Annex 6300 Supplement to the Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX

passwd_limit

This Annex parameter deﬁnes the maximum number of times a user can

try to enter a password before an RA 6300 resets the port. Entering zero

sets the limit to 3. Allowable values range from 0 to 10 (entering 0 sets

the value to the default). The default is 3.

This asynchronous/synchronous port parameter deﬁnes an asy, ta, or syn

port password for local password protection. You can use this password

as a back-up for host-based security if the security servers do not respond

or as an additional line of security after entering a user name password.

When using SecurID, set port_password to a null string ("") and do

not set a port password in the acp_passwd ﬁle (see Using the SecurID

Card on page A-303 for more details).

This asynchronous port parameter enables a host-based security policy

for access to the port through the port server. When enabled, only

authorized users can access the port. A Y enables this parameter, an N

disables it. The default is N.
