Diagnostic Console Account Configuration

By default, the status account does not require a password, but you can configure it to require one. Other aspects of the admin password can be configured and the Field Support accounts can be enabled or disabled.

• To configure accounts:

1. Choose Operation > Admin > DiagCon Passwords > Account Configuration.
2. In the screen that appears, you can view the settings for each account: Status, Admin, FS1, and FS2.

   

   This screen is split into three main areas:

   • The top displays read-only information about the accounts on the system.
   • The middle section displays the various parameters related and pertinent to each ID, along with a set of buttons to allow the parameters to be updated or new passwords provided for the accounts.
   • The lower area restores the password configuration to Factory Defaults (or to how the system was initially shipped).
3. If you want to require a password for the Status account, select Enabled underneath it.
4. For the Admin and Status accounts, you can configure:

   Setting	Description
   User \ User Name	(Read-only). This is the current user name or ID for this account.
   Last Changed	(Read-only). This is the date of the last password change for this account.
   Expire	(Read-only). This is the day that this account must change its password.
   Mode	A configurable option if the account is disabled (no login allowed), or enabled (authentication token required), or access is allowed and no password is required. (Do not lock out both the Admin and FS1 accounts at the same time, or you cannot use Diagnostic Console.)
   Min Days	The minimum number of days after a password has been changed before it can be changed again. Default is 0.
   Max Days	The maximum number of days the password will stay in affect. Default is 99999.
   Warning	The number of days that warning messages are issued before the password expires.
   Max # of Logins	The maximum number of concurrent logins the account will allow. Negative numbers indicate no restrictions (-1 is the default for status login). 0 means no one can log in. A positive number defines the number of concurrent users who can be logged in (2 is the default for admin login).
   UPDATE	Saves any changes that have been made for this ID.
   New Password	Enter a new password for the account.
