User and Connection Management in Ultra Secure Mode
Managing the RMX Users
Additional security measures can be implemented in the RMX system by setting the
appropriate system flags. These measures control the system users, the user connections to
the RMX and the user login process.
Managing RMX users includes:
• User types that are not supported when the Ultra Secure Mode
(ULTRA_SECURE_MODE=YES) is enabled.
• Disabling and enabling RMX Users
• Renaming RMX Users
• Disabling inactive users
Managing the user login process includes:
• Implementing Strong Passwords
• Implementing password re-use / history rules
• Defining password aging rules
• Defining password change frequency
• Forcing password change
• Conference and Chairman Passwords
• Locking out User
• Displaying the User Login record
Controlling the user sessions includes:
• Limiting the maximum number of concurrent user sessions
• User session timeout
• Limiting the maximum number of users that can connect to the system
When the RMX is configured to Ultra Secure Mode (the ULTRA_SECURE_MODE System
Flag is set to YES), the following user management rules are automatically enforced:
User Types
• Auditor and chairperson user types are not supported.
• The SUPPORT user type is not allowed. If it exists, this user type is removed when the
ULTRA_SECURE_MODE System Flag is set to YES and the system is restarted.
The Audit files can be retrieved by the Administrator User.
Disabling/Enabling Users
• An administrator can disable a user or enable a disabled user, including administrators.
• The last administrator cannot be disabled.
For more information see "Disabling a User” on page 14-5.
Renaming Users
• An administrator can rename any user, including administrators.
• A renamed user is considered by the system to be a new user and is forced to change
his/her password.
