Configuring Security Policy

Using the security policy, you can configure credential settings and user login settings, which is essential for mirroring your company's security settings. With user login settings, you can control user activity, and with credential settings, you can control usernames and passwords.

Select Access Menu and then select Security | Security Policy.
Modify the contents under the following tabs:
- User Login Settings Tab
  Under the User Login Settings tab, you can enable deactivation options based on length of inactivity or unsuccessful login attempts. Additionally, you may enable an automatic logout if the user is idle for a specified duration of time.
  1. To automatically deactivate an unused account, select Deactivate account if not logged in for (days) and then select the desired number of days.
  2. To automatically logout an idle user, select Logout the user if idle for and then select the desired interval.
  3. To automatically deactivate an account with multiple unsuccessful login attempts, select Deactivate account if unsuccessful login exceeds and then select the desired number of unsuccessful login attempts.
  4. To enable fast switching, which improves the log in procedure by only requiring the user's password, activate the Fast user switching slider.
    
    To disable fast switching, deactivate the Fast user switching slider.

  Under the Credential Settings tab, you can configure password and username settings, including minimum length, password expiration, and allowing email as username.

    In the Minimum password length (Character) data field, type the minimum number of characters for all Enact passwords.
