Enable Single
Admin User login
To prevent inadvertent configuration overwrites or conflicts,
enable to allow only one session from one administrator
account to be logged in at any given time. If a second
administrator attempts to log in while another administrator is
already logged in (or if the same administrator attempts to
start a second concurrent session), the second administrator
will receive an error message:
Too many bad login attempts or reached max
number of logins. Please try again in a few
minutes. Login aborted.
When multiple administrators simultaneously modify the same
part of the configuration, they each edit a copy of the current,
saved state of the configuration. As each administrator makes
changes, FortiWeb does not update the other administrators’
working copies. Each administrator may therefore make
conflicting changes without being aware of the other. The
FortiWeb appliance will only use whichever administrator’s
configuration is saved last.
If only one administrator can log in, this problem cannot
occur.
Disable to allow multiple administrators to be logged in. In this
case, administrators should communicate with each other to
avoid overwriting each other’s changes.
Enable Strong
Passwords
Enable to enforce strong password rules for administrator
accounts. If the password entered is not strong enough when
a new administrator account is created, an error message
appears and you are prompted to re-enter a stronger
password.
Strong passwords have the following characteristics:
• are between 8 and 16 characters in length
• contain at least one upper case and one lower case letter
• contain at least one numeric
• contain at least one non-alphanumeric character
