The following fields are available for configuration:

Login Name

Enter a login name for the user (up to 25 alpha-numeric characters). This must be unique within the Consortium. This is the name that the user will actually enter when logging in.

 

Password

Enter an initial password, which will be validated against the defined Account Policy – to ensure it is long and complex enough..

Although you cannot view users’ passwords, you can change a user’s password via this field if it has been forgotten. When you enter a new password here you should notify the user, who will then be given the opportunity to change it when they next log on.

 

Unlock

 

The check box under the password indicates whether the account is locked or not. An account is normally locked after three failed login attempts.

 

UnlockPasswordActive    If the check box is active, the account is locked and clicking the check box will unlock the account.

UnlockPasswordInactiveIf the check box is greyed out and inactive, the account is not locked. This will only become active after three failed login attempts.
