Assign a new user password by activating the checkbox and entering the password in the text field. The administrator defines the password criteria in the settings of the variable UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS. If users are in various international locations, special national language characters -- umlauts (ä), accents (è), special letters (ß), etc. -- should be avoided. Not all keyboards in all countries support such characters.

Allow non-KDC login	This option overrides the setting KDC_LOGIN_FORCED in the System variable UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS. It may be helpful to use this option, if you require a system-wide KDC login, which you want to change only for a few individual users. This checkbox is only visible in case the two switches KDC and KDC_LOGIN_FORCED (in UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS and UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS respectively) are both active.
LDAP connection	This option is only displayed if the administrator has activated the LDAP connection. With this setting being activated, the user is checked with a directory service such as the Microsoft Active Directory and not in the AE system when logging on. Further information about the LDAP connection is provided in the chapter "Authorization System" in the Administration Guide.
Distinguished name	This option is only displayed, if the administrator has activated the LDAP connection. Here you may set the Distinguished name of a user. For an Oracle Directory server as LDAP server you have to define at least one user in this field. Additional users may be synchronized. The parameter VALUE in the System variable UC_LDAP_EXAMPLE will be ignored.

Min. activity refresh	The minimum time interval (in seconds) for refreshing the display. If the user clicks the Refresh button again in less time than specified here, the system will ignore the new refresh request and finish processing the previous one. This prevents the system from getting jammed up with multiple refresh requests in rapid succession in case the user impatiently clicks the Refresh button repeatedly.
TimeZone	Choice of TimeZone to be used for this user following AE system logon. If no TimeZone has been chosen, the client's pre-set TimeZone is used.
