Managing User Account; Password - Compaq N2400 - TaskSmart - 1 GB RAM Administration Manual

3-30 Compaq TaskSmart N2400 Administration Guide
In an Active Directory environment, the administrator can establish the user's
logon hours and the client machines accessed. Although these parameters
affect the way file-sharing clients interact with the appliance, they are better
documented elsewhere. The information in Table 3-3 describes most of the
policies for managing user accounts.

Table 3-3
Description
Checking this box requires the user to
change password at the next logon to the
Active Directory.
If checked, the user cannot modify

password.

If enabled, the Active Directory never
requires a user to change a password. This
check box does not prevent the user from
doing so voluntarily.
Passwords are normally stored in the
Active Directory using one-way encryption.
Checking this box causes the user's
password to be stored using a two-way
encryption algorithm. As such, it is less
secure.
If this box is checked, the account is
disabled, and the user can no longer log in
to the Active Directory; however, the
account remains on file. Failed logon
attempts can automatically disable the
account. The account can be re-enabled
here.
For clients that store user authentication
information on Smart cards, enabling this
check box requires authentication by Smart
card rather than by username and
password.
