4.7 Defining the log in settings
You can define server-wide password settings and the UPN suffix as part of the username that all Users can use to log on to SwyxServer. You can use the domain name or an alias for the UPN suffix.
* 
For logging in to SwyxIt! currently only the display name can be used. You can define the display name under Administration, see section Editing Users’ general settings.
* 
This function is not available for SwyxON.
To define the login settings 
1 In the menu, select General Settings | System.
2 Click on Login.
* 
Logins to end devices and SIP registrations as well as authentication via Windows user accounts are not affected by these password settings.
* 
Independent of the password settings, any attempt to re-use the current password is checked by the system and not permitted.
* 
Two-factor authentication is deactivated by default, except in SwyxON.
For SwyxON the option cannot be deactivated.
Designation
Explanation
Force complex user passwords
Activate the checkbox if you want Users to use a complex password.
Existing User accounts will remain unaffected by the rule until a User changes a password on the User's own volition or the Administrator forces a password change for a User.
In SwyxON, the guideline for complex passwords is forced by default and cannot be removed by any administrator.
Force password change on first login for new Users
When this checkbox is activated, newly configured users will be required to reset their password themselves after the first login so that users will be the only person who know their passwords. Only the User himself knows his password.
Two-factor authentication
Activate the checkbox so that administrators must authenticate themselves via PIN to Swyx Control Center in addition to the user name and password, see also Logging in and logging out.
Deactivate user after max. number of failed logins
Select this checkbox if you want the system to lock user accounts after a specified number of failed logins, such as entering the password incorrectly more than once.
The appropriate Users will be deactivated and will not be able to use terminal devices or clients.
System administrators are not locked.
Maximum number of failed logins
Enter after how many failed logins a user account will be locked. The number of failed login attempts will be reset for the appropriate User after one successful login.
After resetting the SwyxServer services or after changing between master and standby server, this number is reset to zero for all Users.
The number of failed log in attempts is irrelevant, when the Administrator has established a forced password change, and the User attempts to log in with his/her previous password.
Domain (not in SwyxON and SDC)
Enter the SwyxServer domain. This serves as the UPN suffix for the username used to log in to SwyxWare Administration and clients.
For logging in to SwyxIt! currently only the display name can be used.
In addition, the domain name is used for registration with Swyx Cloud services, see Connection to Cloud Services.
3 Click on Save.
