An account provider handles login and password validation. What providers should be used is configured via the system settings UI Account Provider and Terminal Account Provider.
The built in Eton account providers store login information securely in the Eton database.
Password Minimum Length ✎
The minimum number of characters in a password. If set to 0, no password is required.
Login Idle Timeout ✎
If a user is not active within the specified time, the login will expire and automatically logout the user.
For terminals, this idle timer will only run if the use is in a productive work mode and not when the user is paused. If the idle timeout is set to 0, the login session will never expire.
A UI user can avoid being logged out by checking the Stay Logged In setting on their account page.
