Setting Up Login Restrictions
Login restrictions are limitations on user accounts that control access to the
network. These restrictions can be set in ConsoleOne for each user and include
the following:
Requiring a password (you can specify its minimum length, whether it
must be changed and how often, whether it must be unique, and whether
the user can change it)
Setting the number of logins with expired password and the number of
incorrect login attempts allowed
Setting account limits such as an account balance or expiration date
Limiting disk space for each user by specifying the maximum blocks
available for each user on a volume
Specifying the number of simultaneous connections a user can have
Specifying, by node address, which workstations users can log in on
Restricting the times when users can log in (you can assign all users the
same hours, or you can restrict users individually)
When a user violates login restrictions, the account is disabled and no one can
log in using that username. This prevents unauthorized users from logging in.
Setting Up Location Profiles
Location profiles allow you to save the information from a user’s specific
login into a location profile. When the user selects this profile during login,
the profile automatically sets up login information such as the user’s name,
server, tree, context, login script, and other applicable information so that the
user does not have to type this information.
Location profiles are especially powerful for users who log in from multiple
places. Users can have separate profiles for the office, home, laptop, or any
other workstation they use. This simplifies the login process so that users do
not have to remember their login information for each workstation. Using
multiple location profiles also gives you control over what users can access
from each workstation.
You can create a location profile on a single workstation or you can create
location profiles for multiple workstations by using the ZENworks
TM
Workstation Configuration policy packages.
