20.2.2 Security Policies
20.2.2 Security Policies
Superusers can provision security policies on the ONS 15454. These security policies include idle user
timeouts, password changes, password aging, and user lockout parameters. In addition, Superusers can
access the ONS 15454 through the TCC2/TCC2P RJ-45 port, the backplane LAN connection, or both.
20.2.2.1 Idle User Timeout
Each ONS 15454 CTC or TL1 user can be idle during his or her login session for a specified amount of
time before the CTC window is locked. The lockouts prevent unauthorized users from making changes.
Higher-level users have shorter default idle periods and lower-level users have longer or unlimited
default idle periods, as shown in Table 20-3. The user idle period can be modified by a Superuser; refer
to the “NTP-G88 Modify Users and Change Security” procedure on page 10-45.
