Password Policies and Management

Users can log in to the system only through the credentials provided by the administrators. These credentials consist of the User ID and a department. Our products provide for advanced password management, including the ability to require specific password formats such as:

Minimum password length
Special character requirements
Capital letter requirements
Numeric requirements

For details on how to define the password policy at your company, see the password-related information in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS - Various Client Settings.

Our products also allow for integration with Active Directory and LDAP compatible user authentication. This integration is for the sole purpose of user and password validation.

Once a user is connected, their activity is tracked for auditing and reporting purposes.

Changing Default Passwords

With the installation of the Automation Engine, a default user account called UC exists for system Client 0 (username: UC, Department: UC, Password: UC). This user has full rights and privileges. Change the credentials of this user after your first logon.

To Change a User Password

Login to AWI using the available UC user credentials.
Open the login and session information menu on the upper right corner of the screen.
Select Change Password and fill out the fields on the dialog.
Click OK.
