You use the Security tab to perform security-related tasks.
Note: | If Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode, the username and password options and the automatic logoff options that are provided on the Security tab cannot be used. |
In the “User name and password management” group, you specify username and password settings. By default, the settings are 0 (turned off). The values that you enter must be between 0 and 64,000.
Login attempts allowed before user name is disabled—Specify the number of consecutive, incorrect username or password entries permitted before the system disabled the username. When you change the setting, all counts of login attempts are returned to 0.
Number of inactive days before user name is disabled—Specify the number of days that a user account can remain inactive. The timer starts for all users when you apply the setting. The timer is reset for each user each time the user logs on or when an administrator reactivates or edits the user.
Number of days before user must change password—Specify the number of days that a user can retain a password. After the specified number of days, the user is prompted at login to change the password. The day count is reset for each user each time the user or an administrator changes the user's password.
You use the options of the “Auto logoff” group to specify if and when users are logged off:
Inactive limit (minutes)—Specify the number of minutes of user inactivity permitted before Essbase disconnects the user (default of 60; minimum of 5; and maximum of 0, which sets no limit)
Check every (minutes)—Specify, in minutes, how often Essbase checks for user inactivity and compares the security backup file to the security file (default of 5; minimum of 1; maximum of 0, which sets no limit).
Note: | If automatic logoff is disabled, users can remain connected until the server is shut down. |
The “Permission to create Unicode-mode application” option indicates whether Essbase Server is in Unicode mode; that is, whether Essbase Server can create Unicode-mode applications or migrate applications to Unicode mode. To set Essbase Server to Unicode mode, you select the option. To set Essbase Server to non-Unicode mode (thus, to ensure that applications are not accidentally created as Unicode-mode applications), you clear the option.
The “EPM System security” option indicates whether Essbase Server is in EPM System security mode; that is, whether users and groups are managed through Shared Services User Management Console. The option cannot be changed. Essbase Server must be manually converted to EPM System security mode. After conversion, Essbase Server cannot be returned to native security mode.
