Managing authorizations
12.1.2 Managing passwords
In the Password management tab you manage the passwords of all defined local accounts.
i
The passwords of the local accounts have the attributes Validity time, Warning time, Minimum
time, and Inactivity time:
–
During the Validity time, which applies from the last time the password was set, it is
possible to log in without restriction.
–
During the Minimum time which is defined by the administrator, the BS2000
administrator, operator, AU administrator or XenVM administrator cannot change their
own password.
–
During the Warning time, a warning is issued that the password will soon no longer be
valid. However, it is possible to log in without restrictions.
–
During the Inactivity time, the password is no longer valid, but it is still possible to log in.
Directly after a user has logged in, a request to change the password is issued.
–
After the Inactivity time has elapsed, the account is locked. It can be opened again from
an(other) administration account or, if necessary, by Customer Support.
–
The value -1 for the Inactivity time results in the inactivity time not elapsing.
–
The value 99999 for the Validity time means, in practice, that you need not change the
password.
The figure below shows the relationship between these times.
