It is best practice to regularly change the logon password for the Synergis™ appliance.
What you should know
- The new password should be long, unique, and random. The Save button is not displayed until the system determines the password strength to be Strong or Very strong.
- If the Synergis™ Cloud Link appliance was already enrolled
in Security Center, it is recommended to
change the password using the Hardware inventory task in
Config Tool instead of the Synergis™ Appliance Portal. Security Center 5.10.1 and Synergis™ Softwire 11.0 are the minimum required versions to do
this.
For more information, see Changing access control unit passwords in Config Tool.
Procedure
- Log on to the Synergis unit.
- Click .
- On the User configuration page, select a user.
- Enter the old password, and then enter and confirm the new password.
- Click Save.
- For appliances that were already enrolled in Security Center, change the password in Config Tool to synchronize the appliance with the Access Manager role it is connected to.
