You can set a user’s password to expire after a certain amount of time, force users to
change their password on next logon, or enforce a minimum complexity for all user
passwords.
What you should know
Password complexity requirements apply to all new passwords, and take effect when a
user changes their current password.Only users who have the Change own password
user privilege can change their own password. Otherwise, they must contact their
administrator to change their password.
To change the password settings for a user:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the User
management task.
-
Select the user to configure, and click the Properties
tab.
-
To change the user’s password, click Change password, type a
password, confirm the password, and click OK.
-
To set an expiry date for the user’s password, switch the
Expires option to ON, and select the
number of days.
The system automatically warns users if their passwords are expiring soon, and
gives them a chance to set a new password immediately. You can set the password
expiry notification period to between 0 and 30 days from the System task.
-
To require the user to change their password the next time they log on to Genetec
Patroller™ or Security
Desk, switch the Change
on next logon option to ON.
-
Click Apply.
