System Options - Users

User Accounts

User account name separator is the separator that is used when creating user accounts (for example, john.smith, john/smith, etc).

Default account name to lower case forces account names to be lower-cased.

Show logged in user name on title bar displays the name of the user name that is logged in on the title bar.

Show totals for each user type in user accounts window displays the total number of users in the system and the number in each user type category.

Show account name in full name displays the user's full name as well as the account name on the title bar.

Additional fields for user accounts allows additional fields to be provided on all user accounts by associating a data table. Note that if LDAP is being used, only the following data table field types are supported - alpha, short alpha, URLs and pop-up lists.

Log On

Enable automatic log on when account name matches network log on name will automatically log in users when the client starts if their TIBCO Nimbus®  user name is identical to their network user name. Note: LDAP must be enabled. For more information on LDAP synchronization see the Administration Guide that is included on the CD.

Notify Administrators when password retry limit is exceeded will Email the administrators when users exceed the permitted number of log in attempts as specified below.

Incorrect password retry limit is the number of failed attempts that users are permitted when logging into their accounts. After the number of permitted retries is exceeded, TIBCO Nimbus®  will close and the user must launch the application to retry logging in.

Minimum password length defines the minimum number of characters permitted for user account passwords.

Minimum password complexity allows you to specify that passwords must contain at least 1, 2 or 3 of the following password security requisites (0 means that passwords do not require any of the requisites):

•Uppercase and lowercase characters

•Numericals (0 - 9)

•Non-alphabetic characters (e.g. !, $, #)

Password expiry period (in months) is the number of months that passwords are valid for before users are forced to change them.
