Account password expiration
To reduce the likelihood of a password being compromised, administrators can choose to set a
password expiration interval for user accounts. After a specified amount of time, a user account
password will become invalid, forcing users to regularly change their MVP passwords.
Account password expiration applies to all users with the exception of the administrator, unless
LDAP Server authentication has been enabled. If LDAP Server authentication is used, account
password expiration will not be enabled as password security will depend on your company’s
existing password security and network protocols.
Note: To eliminate the need for the administrator to change each user account password
for every expiration interval, all users should have access to the Change Password
task.
To set the account password expiration interval
1 Go to MarkVision Æ Administrative Settings or select Administrative Settings from the
All Tasks list.
2 Under the Intervals section of the dialog, specify the account password expiration interval in
days. To remove the password expiration interval, select Never.
3 Click OK.
To change your account password

2 Enter your current password.
3 Enter your new password.
4 Confirm your new password. If the passwords match, the light next to the field turns green. If
they do not match, the light turns red.
5 Click OK.
