Guests and registered users
Guest user is a generic account for guest users of remote access service. Anyone
on the network can be a guest; a guest is not assigned a password and generally
has limited network access. In the interest of security, you should limit the
amount of access that guests have on your network.
A registered user is anyone for whom you have assigned a user name, password,
and security options.
The user database, or User List, contains the names of all users and guests who
can access the server. Information about each user, such as user name and
password, appears in a User information window.
Password and callback security
You can increase the security of your network by requiring that each registered
user enter a password to access the server. You should provide registered users
with a unique password the first time they log in and require that they change
the password at that time. Select the Require New Password on Next Login
option in the User information window to ensure that all users must change
their passwords after the first time they log in. For more information about this
and other password options, refer to “Registering Users,” later in this chapter.
