Managing the Password for the Datacard 
System Default User Name
Datacard Maxsys, MX Series, and PB6500 systems are shipped from the factory 
with a default user account defined as follows: 
Similarly, Datacard Affina Personalization Manager has a default user account, 
defined as follows: 
If your organization’s security policies require that passwords be changed on a 
regular basis, you must monitor the expiration schedule and reset and 
synchronize the passwords manually.
During production, the services listed in “Configuration of Services” on page 219 
must be running. Services set up to log on as “.\maxsys” must be set up with the 
maxsys user password. Therefore, each time the maxsys user password is 
changed, the password information in the Log On tab for these services must also 
be changed.
To increase security further, you can set the log on as for these services to use 
another server for user authentication. Also, the Controller PC can be added to a 
domain.
The Datacard Maxsys service provides FTP services to the personalization 
modules. You must allow FTP connections from the personalization modules to 
the network adapter, which has an IP address of 172.27.0.254. If you want to use 
FTP services in your production environment, you need to setup your FTP server 
so it does not interfere with the Datacard Maxsys service.
