Security Settings
General Security Settings
Active Directory Sign On
Disables standard Patriot operator logins, and allows operators to log in using their Active Directory domain credentials. See Single Sign On for more information
Enable HTTPS certificate checks
If this option is disabled, Patriot will not validate HTTPS certificates when making secure connections. It is strongly recommended to leave this option enabled at all times. If certificate errors are preventing connections, this option can be disabled as a temporary measure until the underlying certificate problems can be resolved.
Lock user out after failed attempts
If this option is enabled, Patriot users will be locked out if they enter the wrong username or password too many times within a period. The user will be reactivated automatically after a delay. Operator accounts can also be manually reactivated or reset in the Patriot Client via the operator maintenance menu. This option is not available when the ULC module is registered.
Login Attempts
The number of failed login attends required to trigger a lockout.
Within Time
The amount of time failed login attempts are tracked.
Lockout Time
How long the operator is disabled for, when lockout is triggered.
Password Security
Password security rules can be set to enforce secure passwords. These settings can be enabled independently for both Operators and ICA users
Minimum Password Length
Enforces the minimum length allowed for passwords
Require Number and Character
If enabled, all passwords must contain both letters and digits.
Restrict context and sequential passwords
If enabled, passwords cannot include easily-guessed information like the operator/user name or sequences like 12345 or aaaaa.
Restrict Previous Passwords
If enabled, previously used passwords cannot be re-used. The number of previous passwords to restrict must be specified.
Require Password Change
If enabled, passwords must be changed periodically. The Restrict Previous Passwords setting must be enabled to use this setting. People who recently changed their password before this setting was enabled may be forced to change their password again on their next login.
The Change Password security right does not apply restrictions when changing expired passwords.
