It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to initially set up user login controls such as the number of failed sign-in attempts before locking out an account.
To configure the login controls
| Token Lifetime |
Set the number of minutes a user can stay logged into Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. Range: 10 minutes to 28,800 minutes (20 days) Default: 1,440 minutes (one day) |
|
Web Client Inactivity Timeout |
Set the maximum time to allow from the user's last request to the server before the user is automatically logged out. The default is 15 minutes. The minimum value is five minutes and the maximum value is 2,880 minutes (two days) if the Token Lifetime is increased to match the value. If the Token Lifetime is not increased, the token will expire before the Web Client Inactivity Timeout. When the timeout period is met, a message displays and the user can continue or log out. If there is no response, the user is automatically logged out. The default is 15 minutes. |
| Lockout Duration |
Set the number of minutes a locked out account remains locked. Range: One to 9,999 minutes; A setting of 9,999 requires an administrator to manually unlock the account. Default: 15 minutes |
| Lockout Threshold |
Set the number of consecutive failed sign-in attempts within the Lockout Window required to lock a user account. If a user submits an incorrect password for the maximum number of times specified by the account Lockout Threshold settings within the Lockout Window, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords locks the account until the Lockout Duration period has been met. Range: 0 to 100 failed sign-in attempts; A value of 0 (zero) indicates the user’s account will never be locked due to failed log ins. Default: Five consecutive failures TIP: Set the Lockout Threshold to a high enough number that authorized users are not locked out of their user accounts simply because they mistype a password. |
| Lockout Window |
Set the duration (in minutes) in which Safeguard for Privileged Passwords increments the number of failed sign-in attempts. Range: 0 to 5 minutes; A value of 0 (zero) means that there is no time limit to tracking failed log on attempts. Default: 10 minutes |

It is the responsibility of the Authorizer Administrator to configure the user password rules.
To configure user password rules
Set the Password Length from 3 to 255 characters.
Default: 8 to 64 characters
Note: The maximum length must be equal to or greater than the sum of minimum characters described in the next step.
Set the character Requirements:
Password Length: Set a range for the password allowable length from three to 255 characters. The maximum length must be equal to or greater than the sum of minimum characters required in the following steps. For example, if the password must have two uppercase letters, two lowercase letters, and two numeric characters, the minimum Password Length must be six.
Limit Consecutively Repeated Alpha Characters: To set the number of repeated lowercase or uppercase letters combined, enter the Max Allowed.
For example, if you set the Max Allowed at 2 then you can not have more than two alphabet characters next to each other in the password. Using this example, Ab1Cd2EF is valid but AbC1d2EF is not because it has three alphabet characters in a row.
