  3. Enter the email address to use to recover a forgotten password.

Recover a Forgotten Password

OPTION 1 — Contact the library's Administrator user to reset your password

Library administrators can refer to "Add, Modify, or Delete a User" for procedures.

OPTION 2 — Generate a recovery email

You can only use this option if the SMTP server is configured (see "Configure Email Notifications") and a recovery email address is associated with your user ID ("Add a Recovery Email Address to Your User Id"). The password reset email expires after 2 hours.

  1. Navigate to the GUI login screen, and then click Forgot Password.

  2. Click Generate Recovery Email. If this button is not displayed, email notifications are disabled for the library. Use one of the other two options to recover your password.

  3. Enter your email address. If the email is associated with a user ID, the library will send a recovery email.

  4. Follow the instructions in the recovery email. Enter your new password, and click Save.

OPTION 3 — Download Service User Key and Contact Oracle Support

  1. Navigate to the GUI login screen, and then click Forgot Password.

  2. Click Download service user key file.

  3. Send the key file to Oracle.

    Note:

    The key file is encrypted. Oracle then decrypts the file to get an Administrator user ID and password to login to the library. Oracle personnel can refer to the SL4000 Installation and Service Guide for procedures.

  4. Oracle support will login to the library and reset your password.

Set Accessibility Options

The first time you log in to the GUI, it will prompt you to set the accessibility options (this prompt remains each time you login until you select "Do not show these options"). However, you can change the settings at anytime:

  1. Click Preferences in the upper right corner of the GUI.

  2. Select Accessibility Settings

  3. Select accessibility settings:

    • Screen reader - If you are using a screen reader to interface with the GUI, select this option. The GUI generates components that have rich user interface interaction and are accessible through the keyboard.

    • High contrast - The GUI generates high-contrast-friendly visual content. High-contrast mode is designed for use with operating systems or browsers that have high-contrast features enabled.

    • Large-fonts - The GUI generates browser zoom-friendly content.

Display the Library's Current Date and Time in the Status Bar

You can display the library's current date and time in the GUI status bar, beneath the library status indicator. This may be helpful when viewing requests, jobs, system reports, and so on. The status bar displays the time in both local and UTC. However, if you have chosen to display times in UTC, then the status bar only displays UTC time (see "Display Dates and Times in UTC").

  1. Click Preferences in the upper right corner of the GUI.

  2. Select User Preferences.

  3. Select Show Time in Status Area.

Display Dates and Times in UTC

You can display all dates and times throughout the GUI in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). This only affects the date and times displayed for the individual user. It does not change the library date and time configuration settings.

  1. Click Preferences in the upper right corner of the GUI.

  2. Select User Preferences.

  3. Select Display dates and times in UTC.
