Configuring Workstation Database Passwords in the EMC
To maintain workstation database access control, you must assign unique usernames and complex passwords in the Simphony EMC. This is a required pre-installation step that ensures workstation security.
Simphony allows EMC administrators to configure strong passwords for workstation local databases at either the Enterprise or Property level before installation.
Note:
The Simphony EMC enforces the following rules for configuring workstation database usernames and passwords:-
Usernames cannot include any of the standard default administrator or reserved account usernames such as SA, SYS, SYSTEM, or ROOT (among others).
-
Passwords cannot begin with a number, contain a username, or include the following special characters: ‘ \ “ (apostrophe, back-slash, and quotation marks).
At the Enterprise Level
-
Select the Enterprise, click Setup, click Enterprise Parameters, and then click the Security tab.

In the Enterprise Security section, enable the Use Same Credentials for all Properties checkbox and select any arbitrary property from the drop-down list.
