the user to log on or off the OpenEnterprise system, change their password and obtain diagnostic

security information.

The Login Client allows a user to logon to an OpenEnterprise Server from a Workstation. It also

allows a user to change their password. When Login is selected from the Security menu item, the

1.1.1 Timezone Dialog

The File Menu provides access to the Timezone Dialog, which allows the user to change the

timezone of the Login Client. The time and date fields on the extended Login Client will be displayed

in this timezone.

1.1.2 About Box

The Help Menu opens the OpenEnterprise About box, which provides the OpenEnterprise version

number and contact details.

1.1.3 Username

The user's login name is typed here. The text defaults to upper case.

1.1.4 Password

The user's password is typed in here. It is case sensitive, so upper and lower case letters must be

Selecting this button will immediately cause the currently logged in user to be logged out of the

OpenEnterprise application.

This will be Green if a connection has been established to the OpenEnterprise database. It will be red

if no connection has been possible, and may be amber if a connection is in progress.

This is the name of the database to which the Security Server is attempting a connection. This value

is set up in the OpenEnterprise settings file on the following key:-

KEY: OpenEnterprise\Tasks\OESecurityManager

The value data gives the name of the database that the OpenEnterprise workstation will connect to.

OpenEnterprise settings can be viewed and modified using the Settings Editor.

1.1.8 Login Client Status Bar User

1.2 Change Password Dialog

The user's old (or expired) password should be entered here.

1.2.2 New Password

The intended new password should be typed here. It should adhere to any length rules which have

been set up by the OE System Administrator. Remember, the password is case sensitive.

1.2.3 Confirmation

As a precautionary measure, the new password should be typed here again, exactly as it was in the

Password field. Any anomalies between what is typed here and what is in the Password field will be

reported, and the user will be prompted to enter the password and confirmation again.
