Chapter 23 User & Authentication
USG FLEX H Series User’s Guide
341
User Type These are the kinds of user account the Zyxel Device supports.
• admin - this user can look at and change the configuration of the Zyxel
Device
• user - this user has access to the Zyxel Device’s services but cannot look at
the configuration
• ext-user - this user account is maintained in a remote server, such as RADIUS
or LDAP. See
Ext-User Accounts on page 332 for more information about this
type.
Lease Time This is the default lease time in minutes for each type of user account. It defines
the number of minutes the user has to renew the current session before the user
is logged out.
Admin users renew the session every time the main screen refreshes in the Web
Configurator. Access users can renew the session by clicking the Renew button
on their screen. If you allow access users to renew time automatically (see
Section 23.1.5 on page 339), the users can select this check box on their screen
as well. In this case, the session is automatically renewed before the lease time
expires.
To edit the lease time, enter the number of minutes this type of user account has
to renew the current session before the user is logged out. You can specify 1 to
1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the number of minutes unlimited.
Reauthentication Time This is the default reauthentication time in minutes for each type of user
account. It defines the number of minutes the user can be logged into the Zyxel
Device in one session before having to log in again. Unlike Lease Time, the user
has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out.
To edit the reauthentication time, enter the number of minutes this type of user
account can be logged into the Zyxel Device in one session before the user has
to log in again. You can specify 1 to 1440 minutes. You can enter 0 to make the
number of minutes unlimited.

Password reset link (FQDN/
IP):
