The password settings mentioned in this topic only apply to user accounts that are managed directly in Geo SCADA Expert. With user accounts that are associated with Windows or LDAP User Profiles, password management is performed via the relevant Windows domain or LDAP server.
Geo SCADA Expert has settings that enable you to enforce user account security. You can set the minimum password length, the number of permitted password entry attempts, whether users can change their own passwords, and so on.
To help protect your system from unauthorized use, we recommend that you change these settings to suit your security needs. However, you should first consider the implications. You can make your system more secure from unauthorized access, but user accounts may need more management. You may need to change passwords more frequently, and there is a chance that users will then forget their login details (especially if passwords have to include letters and numbers).
For more information on configuring the Security Level setting, see Define the Default Security Settings for New User Accounts.
