Users Accounts
The user administration allows vistrax users to be managed and settings regarding the allocation of mandators and user roles to be undertaken.
The following points should be noted:
- Authentication
Here you can choose the desired form of authentication:
- Database: The password is managed in the vistrax database.
- LDAP / Active Directory: Links the user to a LDAP / active directory: If using a windows domain, the user name corresponds to the domain name. If connecting to a LDAP directory, the user name corresponds to the distinguished name Further information on configuration can be found in Chapter 10 in the “LDAP / ADS Authentication” section.
- Access: If you wish to temporarily deactivate a user account, you can prohibit access..
Note
Passwords entered in vistrax and stored in the database should be moderately complex: 1 uppercase letter (A..Z), 1 lowercase letter (a … z), 1 number (0 … 9) and at least 10 characters.Note
