Table 8-10 Field Descriptions for the Create New MGM User Wizard
Screen Field Description
User Properties Username Name that the user will use to access the system. The Cisco MGM username must
contain between six and twelve alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9). Alphabetic
characters are case-sensitive. The username must be unique in Cisco MGM and cannot
contain a space or a special character.
Note After the username is set, it cannot be changed without deleting the user.
User Password Login password that the user will use to access the system. The password complexity
is configurable in the Control Panel > Security Properties pane. By default, the user
password must:
• Contain at least six characters, but not more than 12 characters.
• Contain at least two alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z). Of the alphabetic characters,
at least one must be uppercase and one must be lowercase.
• Contain at least one numeric character (0-9).
• Contain at least one special character (+ # % , . ; & !).
• Not contain the username or any circular shift of the username. An uppercase letter
and its corresponding lowercase letter are considered equivalent. For example, if
the username is Arthur, the password cannot contain the string arthur, rthura,
thurar, hurart, urarth, or rarthu.
• Differ from the old password by at least three characters. For example, if the old
password is MikeBrady5!, the new password cannot be mikebrady5% because
only the last character is different. However, the new password MikeBrady2!99 is
acceptable because it differs from MikeBrady5! by three characters.
Note By default, the minimum time between password changes is 20 days. The new
password must differ from the previous password by 3 characters, and the new
password is compared against the previous 5 passwords.
Confirm Password Retype the password to confirm it.
User Privilege User privilege level.
Note After the user privilege is set, it cannot be changed without deleting the user.
