For each user in the explorer tree, you can set a login expiration date. If
you set the login expiration date for a particular user, a user will not be
able to log into the EMS server after the set date and time.
To set a login expiration date and time for a particular user:
1 In the explorer tree, select the desired user.
2 In the right-hand pane of the EMS GUI main window, select Login.
3 Double-click the Expiration Date field and enter the expiration date and
time using the following format:
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm
For example:
05/16/2003 14:30 (in 24-hour format)
4 Click Save all.
If the user attempts to log into the EMS server after the expiration date
and time, the user receives an error message and is not allowed to access
the EMS server.
An Administrator can force a user to logout. You can force a logout from
either the EMS GUI or from the EMS server command line. This is
particularly helpful to use before running maintenance procedures on
your network. Before forcing a logout, it might be helpful to broadcast
messages to the users you plan on logging out.
To force a user to logout from the EMS GUI:
1 In the explorer tree, select a user under the Users root folder.
2 Right-click the user, and select Force Logout from the pop-up menu.
A message appears letting you know the user has been logged out.
3 Click OK.
To force a user to logout from the command line:
1 Determine which EMS GUI or EMS CLI clients are logged in by entering
the following command:
