   Automate Lures	Select one or more tag names to automate lure generation and to generate related contents. Selecting any and all generate random content. Click Generate Lures to automatically generate lures and list them in the panes below. Click Clear to delete the lures on this page.

4. If applicable, click Add Lure for the service and configure the following:

   Username	Specify the username for the decoy. Maximum 19 characters using A-Z, a-z, or 0-9. Do not set the username of the lures to be the same as existing usernames in the decoy, such as administrator for RDP/SMB services on Windows, or root for SSH/SAMBA services on Linux.

11. Configure the following settings in the Add Interface for Decoy pane:
