Configuring Different Credentials for Each Property

  1. In the EMC, select the Enterprise level, click Setup, and then click Properties.
  2. In table view, scroll to the right until you see the Admin Credentials and the Database Credentials columns. If a property is not compliant, the Admin Credentials and the Database Credentials columns are highlighted in red.
  3. Click either the Admin Credentials or the Database Credentials column of the non-compliant property, and go to the Property Parameters module.
  4. Click the Security tab, and then enter the User Security Credentials. Simphony release 18.2 uses these credentials to authenticate the workstations.

    The Install User Security Username must have at least two characters and must not contain a company name, product name, common words, or Structured Query Language (SQL) keywords (for example, Micros, Oracle, abcd, 1234, and so on).

    The Install User Security Password must have a minimum of eight characters and adhere to the Oracle Database standards.

  5. Enter the Current Password of the Admin User.
  6. Enter a new strong password for the Admin User.

    Review the Simphony Installation Guide specifically, the Database User Passwords section which contains more information about password requirements.

  7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the Database User, and then click Save.
  8. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 for all non-compliant properties.

    If you are using Simphony release 2.9.1 or later (including the Simphony 18.2 release), the steps outlined above have changed in reference to allowing you to use your EMC logon credentials to perform downloads, upgrades, and authentications using the Client Application Loader (CAL) on service hosts and workstations.

    See the Oracle Hospitality Simphony Configuration Guide, specifically, the Employees and Privileges chapter, for more information about configuring employees and their access privileges.

    To allow users to use their EMC logon credentials to access and update service hosts and workstations:

    • Access the EMC and select the Enterprise level, Configuration tab, and then click Roles.

    • Select the Operations tab, click the Miscellaneous tab, and then within the Miscellaneous Options section, enable the 10065 – Download Software, Install and Authenticate Clients and Service Hosts Using CAL option.

    • Click Save.

    • Repeat these steps for each employee role you wish to assign this privilege.
