Enhancements to Account Security

The following enhancements have been made to account security:

• Account lock feature enhancement

  Currently, if a user tries to log in with the incorrect password three successive times within an hour, the user must enter Captcha code to ensure that a real person is attempting to log in.

  With the account lock feature enhancement, if a user tries to log in with the incorrect password ten successive times within four hours, the account will be locked for four hours. If the count of failed log-in attempts does not reach ten after four hours from the first failed attempt, the count will be reset to zero. Also, the count will be reset to zero with a successful log in.

• Enhanced password change security

  Under the Accounts Management screen, you cannot edit the account of the logged in user. You must go to the Change User Profile screen to edit the logged in user's profile. In this screen, you must supply the current password before you can change the password.

• Enhanced password policy

  The password must be at least 8 characters and must contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number, and can optionally contain special characters.

Support for Gateway HA Groups

You can configure two registered gateways as an HA Group to provide high availability access. If one gateway is down, then the other gateway will take over and ensure that the network traffic is not down. An HA Group can increase network traffic efficiency in addition to providing redundancy when a fatal error is encountered.

High Availability Status Widget

Adds the new widget High Availability Status to monitor status of HA Groups.
