Change Logon

The Change Logon page sets your VSA logon username and password. These preference options apply only to the currently logged on user.

Note: See VSA Logon Policies for a summary of functions affecting user logons.

Changing Your VSA Logon Name and/or Password

To change your logon name and password:

  1. Enter a new name in the Username field.

    Note: The Username field cannot be edited if Prevent anyone from changing their logon is checked in System > Logon Policy.

  2. Enter your old password in the Old Password field.
  3. Enter a new password in the New Password field. Passwords are case-sensitive.

    If you would like the system to generate a strong password for you, click Suggest. A dialog box displays showing the new password; the new password is automatically entered in the New Password and Confirm Password fields. Be sure to write it down before clicking OK and closing the dialog box.

  4. Confirm the password by re-typing it in the Confirm Password field.
  5. Enter a Security Question and Security Answer. This enables you to request a new password if you forget your password.

    Clicking the Forgot Password? link on the logon page—if activated using the System > Site Customization > Logon Page tab—emails you a link where you can change your password. To change your password, you must have already filled out a Security Question and Security Answer using System > Change Logon.

  6. Click Change.

Note: The Discovery add-on module can be used to manage VSA user logons and Portal Access logons using domain logons.
