Safe Mode in NetVault

Setting a user policy

The user policy defines the maximum age for a user password and applies globally to all local NetVault users. It also helps you to enable secure mode for domain users.

To set a user policy:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.
2
On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, click Set User Policies.
3
On the Set User Policies page, provide the following information:
•
Select or clear the Secure Mode check box to enable or disable the secure mode. For more information see, Using Secure Mode.
•
Select the Passwords expire after check box, and type or select the maximum number of days a password can be used before the user is required to change it.
•
Select the Display Reminder check box, and specify how many days in advance users are notified to change their password. The message is displayed every time the user logs on to NetVault.
4
Click Apply to save the user policy.

Using Secure Mode

Secure Mode enables only the domain users having their associated group(s) already added in NetVault Server to log in or to be added in NetVault Server. The privileges and other access is managed through the groups itself, and domain users cannot be assigned privileges directly while Secure Mode is enabled. This imposes a restriction on the domain users in secure mode as their associated group(s) need to be added into NetVault Server before the user logs in or is added to NetVault. The privileges and other access are updated as per the associated groups present in NetVault Server on every login of the domain user.

To use the Secure Mode feature:
1
A domain user must login to NetVault Server using domain credentials.
2
NetVault administrator must provide required privileges to this domain user and then this domain user adds the domain groups to the NetVault Server.
3
Any user with Users- Administer user accounts privilege is able to enable or disable Secure Mode.

Enabling or Disabling Secure Mode

To enable or disable secure mode:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.
2
On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, click Set User Policies.
3
On the Set User Policies page, select or clear the Secure Mode check box to enable or disable the secure mode.
4
Click Apply to save the settings.
