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.
|
These settings are fixed for SwyxON and cannot be changed.
|
|
Two-factor authentication is deactivated by default, except in SwyxON. For SwyxON the option cannot be deactivated.
|
|
Logins to end devices and SIP registrations as well as authentication via Windows user accounts are not affected by these password settings.
|
Force complex user passwords
|
In SwyxON the guideline for complex passwords is forced by default and cannot be removed by any administrator.
|
When this policy is enabled, passwords must meet the following requirements:
The passwords consists at least of eight characters.
The password consists of any characters meeting at least the four following character categories:
- upper-case letters such as: [A-Z]
- lower-case letters such as: [a-z]
- Numbers [0-9]
- Non-alphanumeric characters (special characters) such as: full-stops, commas, brackets, blanks, hash tags (#), question marks (?), percent signs (%), ampersands (&).
|
Alphabetic characters (such as: ß, ü, ä, è, ô) and non-Latin characters (such as: Ω, π, μ) are not special characters and are regarded as letters.
|
|
If the Force complex user password and password history option is enabled, the user's last three passwords will be taken into account during the change. The user cannot reuse the last three passwords.
|
|
If the Force complex user password and password history option is enabled in the server configuration and/or in the user configuration, the user can continue to use his previous password until he changes his password himself or is forced to do so by the administrator, see Authentication with user name and password
|
|
Independent of the password settings, any attempt to re-use the current password is checked by the system and not permitted.
|
