Users with administrative permissions can set requirements for password security, default settings and lockout settings for other users.

  1. Go to the Administration Administration tab in the function bar and select Administration Settings >  Login.
  2. User authentication for Bp Event can happen either
    a) using a Bp event password (stored in the user)
        Pro: If the user forgets their password, this can be easily reset by an administrator.
    b) using the Windows Domain login, if one has been specified.
        Pro: Single sign-on login to the full client possible (see below)
  3. To ensure a sufficient level of password security, specify
    a) Password memory: Prevent the user from re-using their old password within that number of resets.
    b) Min. length: Enforce a minimum length for passwords
    c) Tick Complex passwords mandatory to enforce passwords consisting of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
  4. Define Default settings (e.g. login and server language) for the user.
  5. Decide whether to Show options for language selection or for saving login data.
    Note: If several users share a computer or Windows user, remembering login data should not be allowed if you need an unambiguous data history/log.
  6. Tick Single Sign On (SSO) login to allow users to log in via the Windows domain without entering another password.
    Note: User authentication based on domain server must be set on the database server under Database properties > Client server
  7. Specify the Lock settings, i.e. after how many unsuccessful login attempts a lock-wait will be imposed and how long that lock wait will last.
