User`s guide
Configuring the Security System
MASTER USER’S GUIDE 2/7
If you define any user accounts, you must include at least one Master
user account.
You do not have to enable the security system before defining user
accounts. The number of user accounts is limited by the capacity of
the memory on the Security Card. This may vary for different
models.
User Information
Under User Information you provide details of the user name,
password, KeyLOC card and logon periods.
An account does not need to have to have either a user name or a
password if you don’t plan to ask for them at logon (see “Logon
Selection” below). However, it can be beneficial to define them
anyway as this provides a way of identifying the account.
You will also need to define user names and passwords if users are
to share KeyLOC cards (although it is best if users each have their
own KeyLOC cards). A Master user’s KeyLOC card cannot be
shared.
For ordinary users, you can set a date when the user account will
expire. After this date, the user will be unable to logon, and attempts
to do so will be counted as invalid logons.
You can also set a date when the user’s password will expire, by
applying the maximum password lifetime. After this date the user is
allowed to logon one more time with his old password, but is then
forced to change it, at which point the next password expiry date is
calculated automatically.
If you don’t set a password expiry date, the password will never
expire. However, the user can still change his password voluntarily,
provided that the Lock Password attribute is not set (see “User
Rights” below).
Again for ordinary users, you can set a permitted logon period for
each day of the week.
