2.2.3 User Authentication
Descriptions of some of the User Authentication functions are displayed below.
User ID / Password
User ID and Password authentication functions are provided to prevent
unauthorized users from using the TOC-Control V software. The User ID and
Password authentication functions are complementary, and once validated,
satisfy the conditions for the electronic signature and enable workflow
administration for each user. They provide a means of setting individual user
access rights to the various software functions.
Mail Transmission upon Login Error
As described above, TOC-Control V authenticates each user by the User ID
and Password, however, if the login fails after a previously set number of login
attempts, the PC will lock up for a specified period of time. If there is an
attempt to log in while the PC is in the locked state, an e-mail message is sent
to a previously specified destination. This function allows e-mail confirmation
of a suspicious login attempt, and ensures the security of the software.
Re-entering a Password
If no operations are performed in the TOC-Control V software within a
previously specified time period, the user ID and password input box can be
displayed to oblige the user to properly log in again before allowing any
further software operations.
Screen Lock
If the user must temporarily leave the PC during measurement, the screen can
be locked to protect the data from another individual making improper or
malicious operations. Once the screen is locked, it can only be unlocked by
entering the user ID and password of the user who was logged in at the time
the screen was locked.
Note: These functions are implemented using settings in the Security section
of the System Administration Tool. Refer to Section 3.2.4 “Security”
for details regarding setting these items.
