NetWare Glossary

If accounting hasn’t been installed, this option isn’t available.

• Expiration restrictions. You can specify an expiration date for a user account. The

account expires at 12:01 a.m. the following day.

Any attempt to log in after the account expires disables the account. (Default: no

expiration.)

• Password restrictions. You can require passwords.

If you require passwords, you can also specify the minimum length (default: 5

characters), how often the password must be changed (default: 40 days),

whether the user can change the password (default: Yes), and whether the

password must be unique (default: No).

For a password to be unique, it must be different from the previous eight

passwords used by the account.

You can also specify the number of times a user can log in with an expired

password (grace logins) or the number of incorrect login attempts (default: 7

times).

When either number is exceeded, the account is disabled.

See also “Security” (Login security).

• Connection restrictions. You can limit the number of workstations (connections)

that a user can be logged in from at any one time.

• Time restrictions. You can restrict the hours and days during which users can log

in. Times are specified in half-hour blocks. You can assign all users the same

times, or you can restrict users individually. Default: no time restriction.

• Network address restrictions. You can restrict the physical locations that a user

can log in from by specifying the network and node addresses of the workstation

the user can log in from.

Workstation restrictions can’t be set with system default restrictions; they must

be assigned individually. If no network address restrictions are listed, no station

restrictions are in effect.
