Chapter 15-Users, Connections and Notes
Polycom, Inc. 15-3
• The server hosting an application-user whose password is about to expire will receive a
login response stating the number of days until the application-user’s password expires.
This is determined by the value of the
PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_WARNING_DAYS System Flag. The earliest warning
can be displayed 14 days before the password is due to expire and the latest warning
can be displayed 7 days before passwords are due to expire. An Active Alarm is created
stating the number of days before the password is due to expire.
•The MIN_PWD_CHANGE_FREQUENCY_IN_DAYS System Flag does not effect
application-user accounts. Applications typically manage their own password change
frequency.
• If an application-user identifies itself with an incorrect FQDN, its account will not be
locked, however the event is written to the Auditor Event File.
• If an application-user identifies itself with a correct FQDN and an incorrect password, its
account will be locked and the event written to the Auditor Event File.
•An application-user cannot be the last administrator in the system. The last administrator
must be regular user.
• User names are not case sensitive.
Monitoring
•An application-user and its connection is represented by a specific icon.
Active Directory
• When working with Active Directory, CMA and DMA cannot be registered within Active
Directory as regular users. CMA and DMA application-users must be manually.
• The only restriction is that TLS mode is enabled together with client certificate
validation.
• if the above configuration are set off it will not be possible to add machine accounts.
• When setting the TLS mode off the system should check the existence of a machine
account and block this operation until all machine accounts are removed.
Listing Users
The Users pane lists the currently defined users in the system and their authorization levels.
The pane also enables the administrators to add and delete users.
The system is shipped with a default Administrator user called POLYCOM, whose
password is POLYCOM. However, once you have defined other authorized Administrator
users, it is recommended to remove the default user.
You can view the list of users that are currently defined in the system.
