User Authentication

Users can authenticate into the NNMi console by using a local user account or by using one of several external authentication components. Each approach requires administrative setup.

Local user accounts

Local user accounts are specific to the NNMi installation only. NNMi does not support password policy configuration for local user accounts.

Note If the security standards of your environment require a specific password policy (for example, minimum password length or password expiration), it is recommended to use an external mechanism for user authentication. See External authentication.

For information about creating local NNMi user accounts, see "Configure User Accounts" in the NNMi help.

External authentication

The administrator of the external authentication component determines the security behaviors for all users and all applications that use that component.

See Configure NNMi to Use LDAP or PKI User Authentication to use an external authentication technique.

NNMi console session timeout

By default, the NNMi console session timeout is 18 hours. The NNMi administrator can change this value for all NNMi console users in the Console Timeout field on the User Interface Configuration form (Configuration > User Interface > User Interface Configuration).

Note It is recommended to configure the session timeout in accordance with the policy for your environment.
