Tip: If any user blocking event occurs, you can unblock that user manually by
using the "unblock" CLI command over a local connection. See
User
(on page 703).
To set limitations for login timeout and use of identical login names:
1.
In the "Idle timeout period" field, type a value or click
time option. This setting determines how long users are permitted to stay
idle before being forced to log out.
▪
If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as
'4 min.' See
Time Units
▪
Keep the idle timeout to 20 minutes or less if possible. This reduces the
number of idle sessions connected, and the number of simultaneous
commands sent to the PX3TS.
2.
Select the 'Prevent concurrent login with same username' checkbox if
intending to prevent multiple persons from using the same login name
simultaneously.
3.
Click Save.
Configuring Password Policy
Choose Device Settings > Security > Password Policy to open the Password
Policy page, where you can:
•
Force users to use strong passwords.

passwords and access the PX3TS.
To configure password aging:
1.
Select the 'Enabled' checkbox of Password Aging.
2.
In the 'Password aging interval' field, type a value or click
time option. This setting determines how often users are requested to
change their passwords.
▪
If you type a value, the value must be followed by a time unit, such as
'10 d.' See
Time Units
3.
Click Save.
To force users to create strong passwords:
1.
Select the 'Enabled' checkbox of Strong Passwords to activate the strong
password feature. The following are the default settings:
