11.11.4 Creating a User Account
In order to meet stringent security configurations required by Common Criteria Certification,
Sentinel requires a strong password with the following characteristics:
Select passwords of at least 8 with characters in length that includes at least one uppercase
letter, one lower case letter, one special symbol (!@#$%^&*()_+), and one numeral (0-9).
Your password should not contain your e-mail name or any part of your full name.
Your password should not be a common word. For example, it should not be a word in the
dictionary or slang in common use.
Your password should not contain words from any language, because numerous password-
cracking programs exist that can run through millions of possible word combinations in
seconds.
You should select a password you can remember that is still complex. For example, Msi5!YOld
(My Son is 5 years old) or IhliCf5#yN (I have lived in California for 5 years now).
To use this feature, you must have the User Management user permission. User permissions are
fairly detailed. For more information, see
