Field

Description

Allow automatic login as current Windows User ID? (No password required)

•Check this box to allow users to log into the Desktop Application without having to enter a user ID and password. That is, as soon as they launch the application from their desktops, they will be brought to the Main Menu.

•Then, enter the Windows User ID in the [NAME/ADDRESS] Folder of the User Master File for the users that will use this feature.

•If this feature has been enabled, since you may not necessarily specify a Windows User ID for all users (i.e. some users may need to enter an ID and password to login), the balance of the settings related to internal password management (below) will only apply to users that are not using automatic login.

•The use of Active Directory overrides/negates Automatic Login.

•The Rich Web Client and the e-Series do not support this feature (although they do support Active Directory integration).

Force password to expire in (days)

•If you are maintaining passwords internally within SpendMap, you can optionally force passwords to expire after a certain number of days. This will force users to select new passwords before being allowed to resume working in the system. Enter ZERO (0) for no expiration.
