PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Cyber Recovery User Guide

Managing Cyber Recovery password expiration

The Security Officer (crso) can set a duration after which passwords expire for all users. Users must then change their passwords.

About this task

Only the crso can set the password expiration duration and view the expiration policy.

NOTE You cannot set a password expiration duration for an individual user; the duration applies to all users.

Steps

  1. Select Administration > Users from the Main Menu.
  2. Click Settings.
    The Settings button is not displayed for Admin and dashboard users.
  3. In the User Password Settings window, enter the number of days after which the passwords expire and click Save.

    When the passwords are about to expire within four to 15 days, a yellow warning message is displayed. This alert indicates the number of days before password expiration. Users can dismiss the message.

    When the passwords are about to expire within one to three days, a red warning message is displayed. This alert indicates the number of days before password expiration. Users cannot dismiss this message.

    Users also receive alerts and email messages about the number of days before password expiration.

    If users do not change their passwords before they expire, the Cyber Recovery software forces them to change their passwords at the next login. If multifactor authentication is enabled, the software prompts users for a security code.
