Security tab in Space General options

Introducción

The Security tab is only available for operators with admin rights (admin operator).

This section covers the password management in Space. As well as explaining the main operator password options, it also indicates how to enable the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for both operators and users. Space is compatible with Service Directories which support the LDAP Protocol. The Enforce password policy is enabled by default when creating a new system.

LDAP for operators

You can enable the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for operators from the Security tab in General options.

'LDAP' panel in 'Security' tab - Operators'LDAP' panel in 'Security' tab - Operators

Once this option is enabled, you need to fill the necessary setup to enable the connectivity with your LDAP.

To complete the configuration of LDAP for operators, also contact your technical support team. They should be able to provide more information on the technical details on your specific IT setup for using LDAP.

The synchronizing of LDAP operators allows the synchronization of operators from an Active Directory using LDAP protocol. There is no need to store operator's credentials (that is, username and password) in Space database for authentication purposes. The credentials are directly saved in the Directory Service.

Once this setup is done you must carry out a synchronization or a scheduled job.

LDAP for users

You can enable the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) for users from the Security tab in General options.

To complete the configuration of LDAP for users, also contact your technical support team. They should be able to provide more information on the technical details on your specific IT setup for using LDAP.

The synchronizing of LDAP operators allows the synchronization of operators from an Active Directory using LDAP protocol. These users can be associated with a user access level.

Once this setup is done you must carry out synchronization a scheduled job.

Proxy configuration

You can enable and configure a Proxy client from the Proxy configuration panel in the Security tab within General options.

Select Proxy client enabled and then, fill the host and the port fields.

The Authentication required checkbox will be helpful in the cases where authentication is required. When selected, the following fields are activated:

  • Manager password: the password you want to configure for this username option.
  • Confirm password: enter the password again.

If you need further assistance in the Proxy configuration process, contact your technical support team.
