Logins
G3V3 and later releases provide enhanced login/password security by adding a
security feature that allows users to define their own logins/passwords and to
specify a set of commands for each login. The system allows up to 11 customer
logins. Each login name can be customized and must be made up of from 3 to 6
alphabetic/numeric characters, or a combination of both. A password must be
from 4 to 11 characters in length and contain at least 1 alphabetic and 1 numeric
symbol. Password aging is an optional feature that the super-user administering
the logins can activate.
NOTE:
If several “users” are logging in and out at the same time, a user may see
the message “Transient command conflict detected; please try later”. After
the “users” have completed logging in or out, the System Access Terminal
is available for use, try executing the command again.
The password for each login can be aged starting with the date the password
was created, or changed, and continuing for a specified number of days (1 to
99). The user is notified at the login prompt, 7 days before the password
expiration date, that his/her password is about to expire. When the password
expires the user is required to enter a new password into the system before
logging in. If a login is added or removed, the “Security Measurement” reports
are not updated until the next hourly poll, or a
clear measurements
security-violations
command is entered. Once a non-super-user has changed
his/her password, the user must wait 24 hours to change the password again.
V4 security is enhanced by providing a logoff notification screen to a system
administrator when he/she logs off while either the facility test call or remote
access features are still administered. The administrator can be required to
acknowledge the notification before completing the logoff process. Logoff
notification is administered on the Login Administration screen.
The system is delivered to the customer with one customer “super-user”
login/password defined. The customer is required to administer additional
login/passwords as needed. The super-user login has full customer permissions
and can customize any login that he/she creates.
