Enabling Password Aging

Password Aging determines whether users are required to change
passwords at regular intervals. The default interval is 60 days.

To force users to change passwords regularly:

1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Password Policy. The

Password Policy dialog appears.

2. Select the Password Aging checkbox to enable the password aging

feature.

3. To determine how often users are requested to change their

passwords, select a number of days in the Password Aging Interval
field. Users are required to change their password every time that
number of days has passed.

Tip: If the desired time option is not listed, you can manually type the
desired time in this field. For example, you can type "9 d" to set the
password aging time to 9 days.

4. Click OK to save the changes.

Setting Up Role-Based Access Control Rules

Role-based access control rules are similar to firewall rules, except they
are applied to members sharing a specific role. This enables you to grant
system permissions to a specific role, based on their IP addresses.

To set up role-based access control rules:

1. Enable the feature. See

Enabling the Feature

(on page 113).

2. Set the default policy. See

Changing the Default Policy

(on page

114).

3. Create rules specifying which addresses to accept and which ones to

discard when the addresses are associated with a specific role. See

Creating Role-Based Access Control Rules

(on page 115).

Changes made do not affect users currently logged in until the next login.

Enabling the Feature

You must enable this access control feature before any relevant rule can
take effect.

To enable role-based access control rules:

1. Choose Device Settings > Security > Role Based Access Control.

The Configure Role Based Access Control Settings dialog appears.
