Enhanced Operator Password
Security
Operator password security has been
enhanced through allowed
characters, optional requirement to
change the password periodically,
and a configurable lockout feature
has been added.
Also See (Not to be Confused With): “The
Auto-Lockout Feature” in the “Welcome”
section of the Director online help or User’s
Guide.
Screen Reference
This screen allows configuring various items
pertaining to password security.
Note: Requires “Operator Options” permission (for the
operator, and the workstation).
- Minimum length: The shortest length (number
of characters) allowed for an operator password;
- Lockout duration: Can be set to “Never”
(Disables the lockout feature), one hour, or
“Permanent” (operator will remain locked out
until their password is changed by an operator
with “Operator Edit” permission);
Note: The lockout feature blocks access to an
operator after 3 incorrect login attempts in a row (i.e.,
wrong password).
- Renewal time: How long before operators will
be prompted to change their password. (Never,
or every 30/60/90 days);
- Renewal expiry: How long before their present
password expires after the renewal time is
reached.
(Never, or after another 30/60/90 days);
Note: If an operator’s password expires, that operator
will be locked out until an operator with “Operator Edit”
permission logs in and changes the specific operator’s
password (same as permanent lockout).
- Enforce complexity: If selected (), operator
passwords:  must include letters and numbers;
 are upper/lower case sensitive;  cannot
include 3 consecutive letters or numbers (e.g.,
abc or 123);
 cannot match the login name
(any upper/lower case);  cannot match the
previous (present) password.
