It is strongly recommended to employ the operating system to ensure authentication for the PMOD ATL users.

In a Windows environment, the Active Directory (AD) can be employed for central user administration. It supports many features for a strict user authentication policy, for instance:

▪Request for a password change after first login.

▪Request for a password change after 90 days.

▪Locking out of a user after 5 failed login attempts.

To employ the AD for a secure PMOD ATL installation, the following setup is proposed:

▪All machines running PMOD should belong to the AD.

▪There should be a global group "PMOD Group" for the PMOD users.

▪The PMOD Group should only contain PMOD users.

▪The AD password requirements should reflect the company security policy.

▪All PMOD users should be configured as "OS users".
