user account and password restrictions apply to local users defined on the Cisco <strong>IronPort</strong> appliance. You<br />

can configure the following settings:<br />

User account locking. You can define how many failed login attempts cause the user to be locked<br />

out of the account.<br />

Password lifetime rules. You can define how long a password can exist before the user is required<br />

to change the password after logging in.<br />

Password rules. You can define what kinds of passwords users can choose, such as which characters<br />

are optional or mandatory.<br />

You define user account and password restrictions on the System Administration > Users page in the<br />

Local User Account and Password Settings section.<br />
