Setting Up Login Restrictions

Login restrictions are limitations on user accounts that control access to the network. These restrictions can be set in ConsoleOne for each user and include the following:

• Requiring a password (you can specify its minimum length, whether it must be changed and how often, whether it must be unique, and whether the user can change it)
• Setting the number of logins with expired password and the number of incorrect login attempts allowed
• Setting account limits such as an account balance or expiration date
• Limiting disk space for each user by specifying the maximum blocks available for each user on a volume
• Specifying the number of simultaneous connections a user can have
• Specifying, by node address, which workstations users can log in on
• Restricting the times when users can log in (you can assign all users the same hours, or you can restrict users individually)

When a user violates login restrictions, the account is disabled and no one can log in using that username. This prevents unauthorized users from logging in.
