Security Profiles

Login and Credentials
RealPresence Group systems support local and remote login to the system. They also allow you to create
a banner that is displayed when logging in locally or remotely.
Local Accounts
Password Policies
You can configure password policies for Admin, User, Meeting, Remote Access, and SNMP passwords.
These password policies can ensure that strong passwords are used.
Account Lockout
RealPresence Group systems provide access controls that prevent unauthorized use of the system. One
way someone might try to discover valid user names and passwords is by exhaustively attempting to log in,
varying the user name and password data in a programmatic way until discovering a combination that
succeeds. Such a method is called a “brute-force” attack.
To mitigate the risk of such an attack, account lockout protects local accounts from being vulnerable to
brute-force attacks.
