Configuring Passwords
The following keywords should be added to the [VSRVTCP Manager] profile of the vsrvtcp.ini file.
[VSRVTCP Manager] ... RequireEncryptedPasswords=yes RequirePasswordAging=yes PasswordAgingDays=90
- Encrypted passwords should always be required.
- When password aging is activated, passwords will expire after the number of days specified by "PasswordAgingDays".
- When a password has expired, users can no longer start server from Visimage3, but they can still reset their password.
- If not specified, the default for "PasswordAgingDays" is 90 days.
Changing a Password
- Visimage3 users can reset their passwords from the Server > Edit Connections menu.
- To change a password, users must know the current (possibly expired) password.
- If password aging is enabled, the new password will expire in the specified number of days (see above).
Resetting a Forgotten Password
- A Visimage3 Admin user can reset a forgotten password for any other user from the Admin > Reset Password menu.
- Reset passwords expire after 10 days so the user needs to change their own password after a reset.
