Field	Description
Expiration	Enter the number of days until user passwords expire. This optional setting affects passwords for all users. The expiration period is counted from when the user was created or when the password was last changed. The default value is 90 days. Note: Individual users can be configured so their password never expires. Also, when a user password has expired, the user can create a new password.
Expiration Warning	Enter the number of days prior to password expiration that a warning message begins to display when users log in. This optional setting affects passwords for all users. The default value is 15 days. The expiration warning period is counted from when the user is created or when the user's password is last changed.
Minimum Length	Enter the minimum length of new passwords. Passwords can be up to 64 characters long. Existing passwords are not affected by this value. The default value is 8.
Number of Attempts Allowed	Select the number of times users can attempt to log in with an incorrect or missing password before the account is locked. The default value is 3. When this limit is reached, an email message is sent to all superusers and to all user names with the Administer Users permission in the same login group as the locked account. Note: When a user account is locked, the Account locked check box is checked automatically for the user. To unlock the user account, edit the user and clear the check box.
Number of Passwords Retained	Indicate the number of unique passwords that are retained in the history of the user. Passwords retained in a user's history cannot be re-used. For example, suppose that you set this field to 100. Each time the user changes the password, the old password is retained (up to 100) and when a new password is selected, it cannot match any of those in the history. If you want to allow password re-use, set this value to 0. If you want to prevent password re-use, set this value to a high number such as 1000. The default value is 8.
Alphabetic Numeric Non-alphanumeric Lower case Upper case	Enter a number in each field to define how many of each character must be present when new passwords are set. The default value for each character is one.
SMTP Server	Enter the name of the SMTP server to use for email notification of run completion, feedback email, and error email. This field must be filled in correctly for these email functions to work.
From Email Address	Enter the email address from which topic email notifications and run completion notifications will be sent. The default value is [e-mail].
Feedback Email	Enter the email addresses for feedback that is sent by Oracle Empirica Signal application users. You can enter one address or multiple addresses separated by commas.

Date Format, Time Format	Select the date format and time format to use for server date/times that are displayed in Oracle Empirica Signal application. Note: UTC is Coordinated Universal Time (abbreviated as UTC).

Log Level	Select the type of information to be included in the weberror.log file on the Oracle Empirica Signal server.
Max Memory Per Report	Enter the maximum amount (MB) of memory that a single report is allowed to use when executing. It is recommended you consult with Oracle support before changing this value.

Max number of rows per table allowed in topic attachments	Maximum number (n) of rows of tabular data that can be saved as an attachment to a topic. Only the first rows of the displayed tabular data are saved as the attachment. A message informs you that not all rows are being saved
