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.
