In the Account Policy section, system administrators can set policies governing
usernames and passwords.
The meanings of the Account Policy entries are explained in the table below:
Entry
Minimum Username Length
Minimum Password Length
Password Must Contain At
Least
Disable Duplicate Login
Enforce Password History
Explanation
Sets the minimum number of characters required for
a username. Acceptable values are from 1–16. The
default is 6.
Sets the minimum number of characters required for
a password. Acceptable values are from 0–32. A
setting of 0 means that no password is required.
Users can login with only a Username. The default is
6.
Checking any of these items requires users to
include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase
letter or one number in their password.
Note: This policy only affects user accounts created
after this policy has been enabled, and password
changes to existing user accounts. Users accounts
created before this policy was enabled, and there is
no change to the existing passwords, are not
affected.
Check this to prevent users from logging in with the
same account at the same time.
This prevents users from using the same password
when they are required to recreate their password.
Enter the number of password changes that must
occur before a previous password can be used a
second time.
