used by all users (a sort of building door code).
• User Password means the viewer will prompt you for your user-specic password (a sort
of apartment door code).
NOTE: The viewer can also prompt you for the client certicate password if you are using
Level 3 security.
Global User-Password: This eld only appears if you select “Global Password” as the password
policy. Enter the common password used by all users here.
NOTE: Password and security (SSL/PKI authentication) settings should be used with caution.
If the switch’s security settings are set to “No Password” and “No SSL” or “No PKI authentication”
(viewer connection security = Level 1), anyone with a viewer and knowledge of the IP address
and port number of the switch can establish a remote connection. With these settings, there
is no password protection and no data encryption. IMPORTANT: It’s highly recommended
that you (or your network administrator) establish and maintain the proper security for your
switch.
