Account Settings

System administrators set the login security policy for users on the Account Settings page. Complete these settings before proceeding with Active Directory and all other user administration tasks.

To set the login security policy:

On the Portal Home page, under Portal Management, click User Administration.

In the navigation pane, click Account Settings.

Type the following:

Minimum password length: The required minimum number of characters in a password.

Password expiry: The number of days before all users' passwords expire.

Password history: The number of times users must create a unique password before it can be reused. Administrators can select 1-24 times.

Password complexity: The level of required password complexity. Select one:

Disabled: No complexity requirements.

Alphanumeric: Passwords must contain letters and numbers.

Alphanumeric with symbols: Passwords must contain letters, numbers, and special characters.

Maximum login attempts: The number of times users can enter incorrect credentials before accounts lock.

Account lockout duration: The amount of time that users must wait before they can attempt to log in after exceeding the maximum number of attempts, in minutes.

Inactivity session timeout: The amount of time that users can be inactive before they are automatically logged out, in minutes.

Select the Disable legal disclaimer check box if you do not want users to see the legal disclaimer each time they log in. The disclaimer will still appear at each user's first login, but not for subsequent logins.

Click Save.
