Field Field Description More Information
User ID Identifies the log-in name
that the user will use to
access the MCU web
interface.
Although you can enter text in whichever character set you require,
note that some browsers and FTP clients do not support Unicode
characters.
The following user ids are reserved and cannot be added:
■ admin
■ guest
■ invalid
■ system
■ unknown
Name The full name of the user.
Password The required password, if
any, up to a maximum of 31
characters. Enter the
password in whichever
character set you require, but
note that some browsers and
FTP clients do not support
Unicode characters. The
MCU never stores the
password in plain text.
This field is only active when adding a new user. If you are updating
an existing user, the field is called New password. Password
changes are immediately effective, that is, any users logged in with
the account will be logged out and must use the new password. This
also applies to admin users changing their own accounts, who will
be logged out as soon as they commit a new password.
If the MCU is not using advanced account security mode, there are
no password constraints. You can use any password or no password
at all.
In advanced account security mode (configured on the Settings >
Security page), the password requirements are more stringent.
Passwords must have:
■ at least fifteen characters
■ at least two uppercase alphabetic characters
■ at least two lowercase alphabetic characters
■ at least two numeric characters
■ at least two non-alphanumeric (special) characters
■ no more than two consecutive repeating characters. That is,
two repeating characters are allowed, three are not
See Configuring security settings for more details.
