VMSC - Voice Mail Domain (VMD) Configuration
If you change the minimum password length to a higher value, existing
subscribers are prompted to enter a new password containing the new
minimum number of digits before they can proceed.
Note: The setting in this field can be used to force a password change for
new subscribers on initial login. The administrators can set an
initial password that is shorter than this value so that, when the
subscriber logs in for the first time, the system forces a password
change.
! Enable Password Expiry Select to expire a subscriber's password after
the time interval you specify in the Days before Password Expiry field.
This check box is cleared by default.
Selecting this option enables the Days before Password Expiry field.
— Days before Password Expiry Enter the time interval, in days, from
the date subscribers last changed their passwords before they are
forced to change them again. The range is 1 through 999, and the
default is 60.
Avaya recommends that subscribers enter a new password at least
every six months to reduce unauthorized user access.
! Login Failures before Mailbox Lockout Enter a number to specify how
many password entry errors per call subscribers can make before they are
locked out of their mailbox. The range is 3 through 999, and the default is 5.
! Number of Previous Passwords Disallowed Enter the number of
different passwords a user must use before any old (previous) passwords
can be reused.
