As a security best practice, regularly change the logon password for the Synergis™ appliance.
What you should know
- The new password must be at least 15 characters long, and should be unique and random. The Save button isn’t 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’s
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.
