Editing a User Authentication Policy
This chapter describes how to view and edit a user's authentication policy. An authentication policy determines the user access policy to the JUNOscope software.
A default authentication policy is automatically generated for all users already configured in JUNOScope, all remote RADIUS users who have successfully logged in to JUNOScope, and when a new user is created.
The JUNOScope administrator can edit a user's authentication policy, which includes the following information:
- Maximum login attempts—The number of consecutive login failure attempts allowed.
- Access window—A maximum time interval for the failure attempts, depending on the authentication policy.
- User account status— Either LOCKED or UNLOCKED. If a user account is LOCKED, that user is denied access to the system even if a user provides a valid username and password. The user is denied access until the JUNOScope administrator changes the status to UNLOCKED.
You must have superuser permission to edit an authentication policy for a user.
