When adding or deleting a history password record, the system requests the
■
standby card to perform backup.
When purging all history records or the history records of a certain user, the
■
system requests the standby card to perform backup.
When adding a user to or deleting a user from the blacklist, the system
■
requests the standby card to perform backup.
The flash memory on the active card and that on the standby keeps the same
■

3 Configuring system password parameters
After password confirmation, the administrator can modify the password at the
next login. Password parameters include:
Password aging time
■
Alert time before the password expires
■
Minimum password length
■
Maximum the number of attempts of entering a password and the processing
■
mode for failed login attempts
Maximum number of history password records
■
Timeout time for user authentication
■
4 Configuring super password parameters
User levels are configured by the administrator during user configuration. The
command super is used to change user levels. For example, a user of level 3 is
allowed to log in to the system. After logging in, if the user wants to change his or
her user level, the user needs to use the command super and pass the super
password authentication. Password control, namely password aging and minimum
password length limitation, must be enabled for this password.
5 Deleting history password records
After the history password record of a user is deleted, the configuration of a new
password will not be restricted by the previously configured history password
records. The system allows the deletion of the history password records of all users
or a specific user.
