Password syntax

The following rules apply to password selection and spelling:
• A password must consist of a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 10 alphanumerical
characters.
• Unlike the user names, the passwords are case sensitive.
• The following special characters can be used: ?, /, <, >, -, +, *, #, =, full stop, comma
and space.
• German umlauts (e.g. ä, ö, ü) and other diacritical characters (e.g. é, à, â) are not
permitted.
• The default password
• The password must not be the same as the user name.

Change password

Any user who has been assigned an authorisation profile in which the
control administration right is released is authorised to modify the passwords of all user
accounts. It is therefore advisable to assign this administration right restrictively.
Users whose password has been changed are prompted to enter their newly assigned
password the next time they log in. The same applies to users whose accounts have
been newly created.
Users without the administration right

Access with incorrect password

After 15 failed login attempts using incorrect passwords the corresponding user ac-
count is blocked; it can then only be reactivated by a user with the
administration right. He then replaces the old password with a new one. The next time
he logs in, the corresponding user is prompted to change the password and enter the
new one he has been assigned.
5. 3. 2. 4

Lost password

If another user has also been defined with the
released, he can simply overwrite with a new password the password lost by another
user. The next time he logs in, the corresponding user is prompted to change the pass-
word and enter the new one he has been assigned.
If the passwords of all administrators are lost, access can still be gained locally without
a password (see "Password-free access", page 185).
