2.2 Login/Password protection

2.2.1 General

tiamo can be configured so that all users must log in with User name and Pass-

word; these entries are then checked automatically. A requirement for this is that

a User administration has been set up and the corresponding Security settings

have been made. This data is stored in the configuration database. In client/server

systems this is found on the server and applies globally for all clients (central user

administration).

FDA-conform settings

If FDA-conform work is to be carried out then the settings on the tab

Security settings as per 21 CFR

11 must be switched on with the button

[Set]. The following conditions are then

observed:

• Each time that the program is started a Login with user name and

password is required.

• Password administration takes place in tiamo.

• User names must be unambiguous. Once users have been entered

they cannot be deleted.

• Passwords must be unambiguous for each user. No password that

has been used once by the user and has expired may be reused.

• Passwords must have a minimum number of characters.

• Passwords must have a defined Validity period after which they must

be changed.

• The number of incorrect attempts for entering the password is lim-

ited. If this number is exceeded then the user is automatically given

the status

inactive.

Actions

If login is switched on then the following actions can be carried out:

• Login at program start

• Manual logout

• Automatic logout

• Change password
