Security recommendations
6
The following are security recommendations for keeping the 
DigiPath system secure:
DigiPath passwords
DigiPath administrator passwords should be changed 
when the system is initially installed. Do not keep the 
default password.
NOTE:  For more information on changing DigiPath 
passwords, refer to 
“Managing user accounts” on page 
6-7.
DigiPath administrator and user passwords should be 
changed on a routine basis. It is recommended that you 
change passwords every 30 - 42 days.
Do not use common names or words in DigiPath 
passwords. It is best to have some numerical or 
punctuation characters in the password.
NOTE:  For more information on DigiPath passwords, 
refer to 
“Managing user accounts” on page 6-7.
Disable any protocols not needed in Windows 2000, such as 
Netware, NetBeui, etc. 
NOTE:  For more information on disabling Windows 2000 
protocols, refer to your Windows 2000 Documentation or to 
the Windows 2000 online Help system.
