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.

Creating Admin Users

  • Add the Admin=Y keyword to the user's host profile to enable Admin capabilities.
  • Admin users have the ability to:
  • Edit and rebuild user macro definitions.
  • Create and delete Visimage3 users for your Credit Union.
  • Perform password resets for other users in your Credit Union.
  • For more information on using these commands watch this video.
  • Requires vsrvTCP version 4.9.2.3 (or higher).
