Logon and Password Security Settings

The logon settings allow the System Administrator to manage the number of logon attempts before the account is locked as well as time-out settings for user sessions.

Note: Some settings in this form only apply to FileHold Managed Users and not domain users synchronized with Active Directory. Domain user policies are defined by the AD security policy defined by your organizations IT group.

The settings page is accessible under the System Administration > Users and Group Management > Logon and Password Security menu option. From this form you will see you can set the following;

Here you can set the number of logon attempts allowed by a user account before the account is automatically disabled by FileHold.
As well you can set the timeout settings for all inactive user accounts. The maximum time out session is 99 minutes of inactivity; after which the user will be logged off. These settings apply for all users (locally managed users or domain users)

For locally managed users you can set the number of characters the password should contain, if the password should contain a number and if the password can be re-used in the future. Finally, the password expiry can be set. Again all of these password settings apply only to locally managed user accounts..
