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).
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, or up to 9
months).
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:
♦ The total number of successful logons since the logon statistics
were last reset.
♦ The total number of invalid logons since the logon statistics
were last reset.
♦ 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).
2. Choose the Reset button.
This not only resets the logon statistics shown in the LOC
Technology Setup dialog, but also those displayed after each
successful logon (see the chapter on “Understanding the Logon
Sequence”, later in this booklet).
