Security settings can also be specified from web client. However, if the system is in a cluster
configuration, the settings from web client are only applied to the executing node. To apply the
settings to the standby node, switch the nodes, and then specify the same settings. For details on
how to operate web client, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition
software Device Manager user guide.
CAUTION: When installing version 5.1 or later of XP Command View AE Suite product, the user
account lock function and password complexity check function will be usable. These functions are
enabled for users of all XP Command View AE Suite products, so the following problems might
occur in operations of XP Command View AE Suite products that are version 5.0 or earlier:
• A user is unable to log in even with a correct user ID and password.
The user account might be locked. Take appropriate action such as unlocking the relevant account or
registering a new user account.
• A password is unchangeable, or a user account is not addable.
The specified password might not follow the password-entry rules. Specify an appropriate password,
following the output message.
The password conditions and settings related to account locking are implemented from the
security.conf file.
The security.conf file is stored in the following location:
• In Windows:
<common component installation folder>\conf\sec
• In Linux:
<common component installation directory>/conf/sec
The password conditions that you set in the security.conf file are applied when a user account
is created or when a password is changed, and are not applied to passwords of existing user
accounts. As a result, even if an existing password does not satisfy the password conditions, a user
can use the password to log in to the system.
When you change a setting in the security.conf file, the change takes effect immediately.
