5.1.5.5 Security

This tab is accessed through File | Preferences and then selecting the Security sub-tab.

Controls the various security settings of Manager.

· Request Login on Save: Default = On

By default a valid user name and password is required to receive a configuration from an IP Office and also to send that same configuration back to the IP Office. Deselecting this setting allows Manager to send the configuration back without having to renter user name and password details. This does not apply to a configuration that has been saved on PC and then reopened. This setting can only be changed when a configuration has been opened using a user name and password with Administrator rights or security administration rights.

· Close Configuration/Security Settings After Send: Default = On.

When selected, the open configuration file or security settings are closed after being sent back to the IP Office system.

· Save Configuration File After Load: Default = On.

When selected, a copy of the configuration is saved to Manager's working directory . The file is named using the IP Office's system name and the suffix .cfg. This setting can only be changed when a configuration has been opened using a user name and password with Administrator rights or security administration rights.

· Backup Files on Send: Default = On.

If selected, whenever a copy of a configuration is sent to an IP Office system, a backup copy is saved in IP Office Manager's working directory . The file is saved using the system name, date and a version number followed by the Backup File Extension as set below. This setting can only be changed when a configuration has been opened using a user name and password with Administrator rights or security administration rights.

· Backup File Extension: Default = .BAK

Sets the file extension to use for backup copies of system configurations generated by the Backup Files on Send option above.

· Number of Backup Files to keep: Default = Unlimited, Software level = 4.2+.

This option allows the number of backup files kept for each system to be limited. If set to a value other then Unlimited, when that limit would be exceeded, the file with the oldest backup file is deleted.

· Enable Application Idle Timer (5 minutes): Default = Off, Software level = 4.1+.

When enabled, no keyboard or mouse activity for 5 minutes will cause the Manager to grey out the application and re-request the current service user password. This setting can only be changed when a configuration has been opened using a user name and password with Administrator rights or security administration rights.

· Secure Communications: Default = Off, Software level = 4.1+.

When selected, any service communication from Manager to IP Office uses the TLS protocol. This will use the ports set for secure configuration and secure security access. It also requires the configuration and or security service within the IP Office's security configuration settings to have been set to support secure access. Depending on the level of that secure access selected, it may be necessary for the Manager Certificate Checks below to be configured to match those expected by the IP Office configuration and or security service.

· When Secure Communications is set to On, a padlock icon is displayed at all times in the lower right Manager status field.

· Manager Certificate Checks: Software level = 4.1+.

When the Secure Communications option above is used, Manager will process and check the certificate received from the IP Office. This setting can only be changed when a configuration has been opened using a user name and password
