Change Password
There is a "Change Password after Login" checkbox in the Movicon
user and password login window that when checked allows the user to change
the initial password they were assigned with when logging in at runtime.
Both Developer Users and Runtime Users can change their Passwords at
runtime.
If an error is made while changing passwords, a modal window will appear
showing an "Incorrect Password" error message. This window
must be closed by the user in order to continue.
Passwords can be changed at runtime when at least one of the following
conditions exists:
"Must Change Password" option enabled
"Cannot Change Password" option disabled
"Expiring
Password (Day)"option more than 0
Passwords cannot be changed if all the following conditions exist at
the same time:
"Must
Change Password" option disabled
"Cannot
Change Password" option enabled
"Expiring
Password (Day)" option equal to 0
|
Even
though the Change Password option is not available for Web Client
users, it can be implemented through various channels when operating
with Client-Server Network projects. In each Client and Server
project, Development and Runtime Users can be allowed to change
their password, independently from one project to another, or
only Development users can be allowed to do so by simply centralizing
the runtime user management in one unique database for each project
(see "General - Runtime Users File" from the "Users
and User Groups" resource). |
Restoring
Passwords for Runtime Users
If you need to restore a previously
changed Runtime User password which was memorized in the User Runtime
encypted '.uxp' file and therefore unretrievable,
you can do so by using the Runtime User Editor to cancel and recreate
the user with a new password and flag them with ''Password Change Required".
This will permit the the user to login again and change their password
as desired.
|
This
procedure to restore passwords cannot be used for Project Users. |
Change Runtime User Password
If you need to change the Password of a Runtime User, in addition to
using the "Change Password" window which is prompted by means
of the "Change password after login" flag or "Expired Password"
flag (Password Duration (days) Property), you can also use the Runtime
User Editor. The last method used is the one that has priority.
|
The User
log reports the Password change only when the "RuntimeUserLog"
System Log Key has been set to a value other than '0'. |
