Security administrators establish their own rules for system access by type of user. ePersonality offers many techniques for restricting access:
• Users are authenticated at login time - they must identify who they are and they must supply a confidential password
• Highly secure encryption techniques are used for all passwords, with no ability to de-encrypt
• Complicated password schemes are supported:
- ability to force codes to be a minimum length
- ability to force the use of at least one numeric digit
- ability to force at least one punctuation character
- case sensitive
• Users are notified by email whenever their password is changed, if they have an email address
• The system is able to force password changes after a specified number of days
• The system is able to force a new password to be different from the previous ‘n’ passwords
• An option is provided to lock out users who do not sign in and change their password within a specified number of days; a security administrator must reset their password to reactivate them
• The system has the ability to automatically shut down a session after a number of unsuccessful login attempts
• IP addresses can be locked out for a specified number of minutes after a maximum number of unsuccessful login attempts
• Security administrators are able to force users to change their password on their next login
• Security administrators can specify access start and end date for logins
• Security administrators can enable or disable access for any user for any time period

!ePersonality System Access Rules
All access rules in ePersonality are defined by accessor type on the IMAR-Establish System Access Rules screen. Access rules do not have to be set up in advance. They are created automatically during the first login if they do not already exist. However, the automatically generated access rules have no restrictions.
Security administrators are encouraged to set up these rules manually to enforce the security restrictions required by their organization.
ePersonality’s login and password verification techniques are all implemented within the application software and are not dependent on the database engine. The access rules no longer come from Oracle Profiles. Oracle Profiles should no longer be used in the ePersonality environment.
Oracle Profiles should no longer be used in the ePersonality environment.
eP users are synchronized with the Oracle database users. When a user is created through the IMUS screen, an Oracle user is also created in the database. When a user’s password is changed in ePersonality, it is also changed at the database level. Self Service users and Candidates are not identified as individual users at the database level.
Below is a description of the options provided on the IMAR screen:
;Accessor Type:The Accessor Type is a mandatory field that identifies the type of user.
The allowed values shown below are based on the fixed lexicon X_ACCESSOR_TYPE:
User - eP user defined through IMUS
Identity - Self Service user defined though IEID
Candidate - Candidate defined through IRCA
Role - role defined through IMRO
Validation Method
Validation method is a mandatory field that identifies whether the new ePersonality password facility is being used and it identifies the algorithm used for encrypting the passwords.
The allowed values shown below are based on the fixed lexicon X_VALIDATION_METHOD:
P2K and EP - both P2K and EP passwords are generated
Personality 2000 - only P2K passwords are generated
ePersonality SHA-1 - only ePersonality passwords are generated (using the SHA-1 algorithm)
Minimum Password Size
This optional numeric field specifies the minimum length of the password. Passwords that are shorten than this will be rejected.
Must Contain Digit
This toggle indicates that the password must contain at least one numeric digit. If the toggle is off the system does not impose a restriction.
Must Contain Punctuation
This toggle indicates that the password must contain at least one punctuation character. If the toggle is off the system does not impose a restriction.
Force Password Change Toggle
This field contains the default for the “Force Password Change” toggle for system generated passwords.
Password Must Change
This toggle indicates that new passwords must not match the prior password. If the toggle is off the system does not impose a restriction.
# Prior Passwords
This optional numeric field specifies the number of prior passwords that must be different than the new password. This option forces a user to use different passwords each time. If the field is empty the system does not impose a restriction.
Password Expires-Dys
This optional numeric field specifies the number of days that a user’s password can exist before going stale. Once the user’s password expires it must be changed on the next login. If the field is empty, the system does not expire the password.
Lock After Expires-Dys
This optional numeric field specifies the number of days following password expiration that the user’s access records will remain active. After this the user’s access records will be locked. If this field is empty the user’s access records will remain active indefinitely.
Login Attempts
This optional numeric field specifies the number of login attempts a user is allowed before the session expires. If the field is empty the system does not impose a restriction.
Max Login Attempts
This optional numeric field specifies the number of login attempts a user is allowed before their access records are locked out. If the field is empty the system does not impose a restriction.
IP Lockout Minutes
This optional numeric field specifies the number of minutes an IP address will remain locked out after the maximum number of login attempts have been reached. If this field is empty, the lockout remains until it is reset by a security administrator.
This feature uses a server setting that applies to an IP address; hence, all accessor types should use the same setting. If different IP Lockout Minutes are used for different accessor types, the most restrictive setting will apply.
This feature should not be used in environments that use kiosks.
!Personality System Access Rules
All access rules in Personality are defined by accessor type on [IMAR]. Access rules do not have to be set up in advance. They are created automatically during the first login if they do not already exist. However, the automatically generated access rules have no restrictions.
At line 360 changed 2 lines
!Client Site Configuration
In P2K, password control is set at the client site level through the IMST-Maintain Client Site Information screen. This information is still maintained in ePersonality but it is only used for the P2K users.
Security administrators are encouraged to set up these rules manually to enforce the security restrictions required by their organization.
At line 363 changed 7 lines
!EP/SS Transition
ePersonality uses new password generation techniques based on industry standards. Sophisticated security options are provided for clients who wish to tighten their security. However, for compatibility reasons, P2K password information may be kept in tact until clients no longer need to use P2K. If this is done, users will still be able to login to P2K and run certain P2K processes
The first time an existing user logs in to any part of ePersonality, the accessor information will be automatically created for them verifying against the former P2K passwords. From them on, the new rules apply.
While users are working in ePersonality - Professional or Self Service - all of the new security restrictions will apply. Even though some of the former P2K information is still shown on the ePersonality screens, the new security is driven entirely from the Accessor information and Access Rules described earlier.
P2K itself is unchanged.
Clients should use the “P2K and EP” validation method in their access rules for now so the P2K information is not lost. This will give them the ability to use either system.
It is advisable for clients to assign passwords for a given accessor type through one system, preferably [{$applicationname}].
Personality’s login and password verification techniques are all implemented within the application software and are not dependent on the database engine. The access rules no longer come from Oracle Profiles. Oracle Profiles should no longer be used in the Personality environment.
