You use the Security Controls dialog box to administer controls in the following areas:
User defaults
You specify a default new user security group and a user status for self-registered users that determines whether they can sign in to the system.
See Set User Defaults.
Login tracking
Enable or disable login tracking and set a maximum number of times a user can incorrectly enter a user name or password before the system blocks them.
See Enable or Disable Login Tracking.
Automatic password generation
You set parameters for automatic password generation.
See Generate Automatic Passwords.
Password requirements
You specify system wide requirements.
See Set Password Requirements.
The system stores security control settings at the system level.
Note: When you use an application server for authentication, the directory manages user creation. You can set properties to let user creation be performed directly in the system. The settings of these properties result in certain features being enabled or disabled in the system. See the IBM® Maximo® System Administrator Guide for additional information.
