Defining Parameters

This section applies to all EntraPass applications: EntraPass Workstations , Gateways, SmartLink (if installed), Mirror Database and Redundant Server, etc.

From the Application window, select a workstation and move to the Parameters tab.
Make the appropriate choices:
- Disable application: If selected, the operator will not be able to start the application. This field must be used with caution.
- Disable authentication to server: When this option is checked, it is no longer possible to register the application to the server.
- Auto disable authentication:If selected, the system will automatically disable authentication when the application has authenticated itself for the first time.
- Display Login List : If checked, this option tells the system to save the five last login names to make them available for selection when opening new sessions. This option offers a fast way to open a session since an operator has only to select a user name and enter a password. You may however leave this field to its default setting (unchecked) for increased security; this will oblige operators to enter both a valid user name and password before accessing EntraPass.
- Single Sign On (SSO): When this check box is visible, the Active directory application is active. It is unchecked by default. To activate SSO you need to select the application or applications you want from the drop-down list.
  - If SSO is on in EntraPass, the next time you start the application you are not required to enter a username and password.
    Note: If you log out and the application remains open, the next time you log in you are required to enter your EntraPass username and password.
  - If SSO is off in EntraPass and the operator has disabled synchronization you are required to enter your EntraPass username and password.
  - If SSO is off in EntraPass an Active directory operator can still have their credentials validated against their profile if they enter their domain\username for login.
    Note: EntraPass supports cross-domain log in but first the operator must create and save Login names, passwords and the domain in EntraPass in Creating or Editing an Operator. Cross-domain usernames use the following format, domain\username. Cross-domain brings the added benefit that EntraPass is not required to run on a Windows platform this facilitates EntraPass Web and Go.
- Must be login to close application : Checking this option will oblige operators to log in before they exit an EntraPass program.
- Suspend messages: If this option is selected, all incoming messages for this application will be suspended. Use this option for an EntraPass workstation that is used only to configure components or when messages are not required.
- Operator must login to view events : Checking this option will oblige the operator to log in at least once with a valid user name and password before system event messages can be viewed.
- Disable video : Check this option to hide the video view options from this EntraPass workstation user interface. If this option is checked, the Video Events List, Video Playback and Video desktop options are disabled in the system. Operators with appropriate user permissions will be able to configure the Video option but will not be able to view live or recorded video segments.
- Notify when remote sites must be updated : Check this option to tell the system to send a notification before updating remote sites. When this option is enabled, operators will receive a notification before updating site communicating via a modem. If this option is selected, operators will receive a notification each time data related to sites (such as schedules, controllers, etc.) are modified. They will have the choice of updating remote sites ( Yes ), refusing the change ( No ) or clicking Details so that they can select specific sites to be updated.
- Use for custom and quick reports: Select this option so the Mirror Database and Redundant Server application will have access to the queue of reports. This option allows the Mirror database or the Database access application to run quick or custom reports in order to reduce the workload on the Server application.
