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

1. Encrypted passwords should always be required.
2. When password aging is activated, passwords will expire after the number of days specified by "PasswordAgingDays".
3. When a password has expired, users can no longer start server from Visimage3, but they can still reset their password.
4. 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.
