Updating account credentials

You can update the administrator and user account credentials (name and password) for connecting to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface. Account credentials must be updated in the following cases:

• The current credentials are compromised.
• The credentials have expired.
• Credentials have to be updated regularly in accordance with the information security requirements of your organization.

If administrator or user account credentials are about to expire, a notification is displayed, the icon appears in the menu on the left side of the screen next to the Users section, and a corresponding event is recorded in the operating system audit log. The user also receives a notification about the account credentials expiration. If you do not update the account credentials, the following happens after their expiration:

• If the user account credentials have expired, the account is blocked and the user is not able to connect to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface until the administrator updates the credentials. The administrator receives a notification to update the user account credentials.
• If your administrator account credentials have expired, you are redirected to the account credentials update page when connecting to the Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 web interface.

If an administrator or user account credentials expire during an active session, the session is terminated. Update the account credentials to get access.
