Changing Login Password For Administrator And Monitor Users - AudioCodes Mediant 4000 SBC User Manual

User's Manual
•
'User Inactivity Timeout': If the user has not logged into the Web interface within
this duration, the status of the user becomes inactive and the user can no longer
access the Web interface. The user can only log in to the Web interface if its
status is changed (to New or Valid) by a Security Administrator or Master user
(see ''Configuring Management User Accounts'' on page 70).
•
'Session Timeout': Duration (in minutes) of inactivity (i.e., no actions are
performed in the Web interface) of a logged-in user, after which the Web session
expires and the user is automatically logged off the Web interface and needs to
log in again to continue the session. You can also configure the functionality per
user in the Local Users table (see ''Configuring Management User Accounts'' on
page 70), which overrides this global setting.
3. Under the Security group, configure the following parameters:
•
'Deny Authentication Timer': Interval (in seconds) that the user needs to wait
before logging in from the same IP address after reaching the maximum number
of failed login attempts (see next step).
•
'Deny Access On Fail Count': Number of failed login attempts (e.g., incorrect
username or password) after which the device blocks access to the user for a
user-defined duration (previous step).
4. Click Apply.
For a detailed description of the above parameters, see ''Web Parameters'' on page 836.
6.8 Changing Login Password for Administrator and
Monitor Users

Management User Accounts'' on page 70).

You can only change the password if the duration configured in the 'Password
Change Interval' has elapsed (see ''Configuring Web Session and Access
Settings'' on page 76).
