Authentication Details

In the Authentication Details page, enter the required details to log in to the appliance WebUI application or if the wizard terminates abnormally:

• Administrator Name - We recommend that you change the default "admin" login name of the administrator. The name is case sensitive.

• Password - The first time you log in, you receive a prompt to change the default password "admin". A strong password has a minimum of 6 characters with at least one capital letter, one lower case letter, and a special character.

  Note - The Password strength meter is only an indicator and does not enforce creation of a password with a specified number of characters or character combination. To enforce password complexity, click the check box. If your password has a low complexity level, you receive an alert to change it to high.

• Confirm Password - Enter the password again.

  Optional, but highly recommended:

  • Enforce password complexity on administrators - Password must be at least 12 characters in length and contain uppercase, lowercase, numeric and non-alphanumeric characters. Allowed alphanumeric characters: ! @ # % ^ & * ( ) - _ + : ;

    Enter the number of days until the password expires.

  • Enforce the password history mechanism - You cannot reuse the three previous passwords, or configure a new password that is similar to the current password.

• Email (Optional)

  Note - In the R81.10.X releases, this feature is available starting from the R81.10.05 version.

• Phone number (Optional)

  Note - In the R81.10.X releases, this feature is available starting from the R81.10.05 version.

• Country (on wireless appliance models) - Select a country from the list.

  The country where the license is set determines the wireless frequency and parameters, as the regulations vary according to region.

  If you are using a trial license, only basic radio settings, are allowed in all zones. A warning that selected wireless radio settings are not applied shows on the Summary page and also on the Device > License page. For more information on basic wireless radio settings, see sk159693.

  If you select a country and install a valid license, but the wireless region of the device does not match the selected country, a warning message shows and you must edit the country information. When the country and wireless region match, you see the full settings.
