Using the Security System
Chapter 6
To set the security password configuration:
1. Ensure that the Security Status is “Enabled” (choose
the Change Status button if it is not).
2. Type the minimum password length in the Minimum
Password Length box (between 1 and 8 characters).
Set a minimum length of at least 6 characters; the more
characters a password has, the more difficult it will be
to guess.
3. Type the minimum password lifetime in the Minimum
Password Lifetime box (between 0 and 255 days, or
up to 9 months).
A minimum lifetime of 0 days allows a user to change
his password at any time, unless the Lock Password
attribute is set in his user account.
4. Type the maximum password lifetime in the Maximum
Password Lifetime box (between 1 and 255 days).
Set a relatively short maximum; the longer a password
remains current, the greater the chance of its being
discovered.
Logon Administration
Logon Administration shows the history of logon attempts at
the computer:
• Total number of successful logons since the logon
statistics were last reset.
• Total number of invalid logons since the logon statistics
were last reset. This total includes attempted logons
outside a user’s permitted logon periods.
• The date when the logon statistics were last reset.
To reset the logon statistics:
1. Ensure that the Security Status is “Enabled” (choose
the Change Status button if it is not).
