Indicators

Authentication Indicator System Standard 1 determines whether or not login names are automatically created by the system for new employee records.

If this indicator is set to N, a login name must be manually entered into the employee Login screen.

Valid Options:

N

Login names are not automatically created. The Login Name must be entered on the Login screen.

Y

Login names are automatically created. The naming pattern of the login names is determined by Authentication Indicator System Standard 3. Authentication Indicator System Standard 3 determines the naming pattern of automatically generated login names. The system uses a certain number of characters from the employee's first name (as defined by Authentication Parameter System Standard Integer 1) and a certain number of characters from the employee's last name (as defined by Authentication Parameter System Standard Integer 2).

 

Valid Options:

A	The login name is determined using first name followed by last name.
B	The login name is determined using last name followed by first name.
C	The login name is determined using first name followed by middle initial followed by last name.
D	The login name is determined using last name followed by middle initial followed by first name.

For example, if the employee's name is John W. Smith, based on the indicator and parameter settings, the automatically generated login names would be as follows:

Indicator 3 Setting	Base Pattern	Login Name if Integer 1 = 1 and Integer 2 = 7	Login Name if Integer 1 = 2 and Integer 2 = 3	Login Name if Integer 1 = 3 and Integer 2 = 3
A	John Smith	jsmith	josmi	johsmi
B	Smith John	smithj	smijo	smijoh
C	John W Smith	jwsmith	jowsmi	johwsmi
D	Smith W John	smithwj	smiwjo	smiwjoh

 

Authentication Indicator System Standard 4 determines the numeric value that should be appended to an automatically generated login name if an identical name is already in the system.

Valid Options:

A	The next sequential number for the login name is appended to the end of the login name.
B	The 4-digit year the employee was hired is appended to the end of the login name. When a duplicate login name is still detected, the next sequential number for the login name is appended to the end of the login name.

For example, if the automatically generated login name is johnsmith, and the new employee was hired in 2007, the modified login name would be as follows:

A	The new login name would be johnsmith1. If johnsmith1, johnsmith4, and johnsmith5 already exist in the system, the new employee is assigned the login name of johnsmith6.
B	The new login name would be johnsmith2007. If this login name already exists, the new login name would be johnsmith20071. If johnsmith20071, johnsmith20072 and johnsmith20076 already exist, the new employee is given a login name of johnsmith20077

Authentication Indicator System Standard 2 determines whether or not passwords are automatically created by the system for manually entered employee records or for all employees when the password is reset.

• For employee records that are downloaded or replicated, this indicator is ignored and a password is automatically created using the pattern determined by Authentication Indicator System Standard 5.

  Authentication Indicator System Standard 5 is used to determine the pattern used to create an employee's password when initially logging into the system or when the employee password is reset.

  When Authentication Configuration Indicator 2 is set to Y, passwords are automatically created as follows:

  Valid Values:

  A	The password is determined by the Default Password defined in Authentication Configuration.
  B	The password is determined by the employee's code. (default) For example, when the employee code is 0123456, the employee's First-Time Password is 0123456.
  C	The password is determined by the employee's birth date (MMDDYYYY). For example, when the employee's birth date is January 1, 1965, the employee's first-time password is 01011965.

• For manually entered employees, if this indicator is set to N, a password must be manually entered into the employee Login screen to be used when initially logging into the system.

• If this indicator is set to N, the Reset Password option is not available.

Valid Options:

N	Passwords are not automatically created. Manually entered employee records must have a password entered on the Login screen. The Reset Password option is not available.
Y	Passwords are automatically created. Employees logging into the system for the first time and employees who have had their password reset must enter the password created with the pattern determined by Authentication Indicator System Standard 5.

Authentication Indicator System Standard 3 determines the naming pattern of automatically generated login names. The system uses a certain number of characters from the employee's first name (as defined by Authentication Parameter System Standard Integer 1) and a certain number of characters from the employee's last name (as defined by Authentication Parameter System Standard Integer 2).

Valid Options:

A	The login name is determined using first name followed by last name.
B	The login name is determined using last name followed by first name.
C	The login name is determined using first name followed by middle initial followed by last name.
D	The login name is determined using last name followed by middle initial followed by first name.

For example, if the employee's name is John W. Smith, based on the indicator and parameter settings, the automatically generated login names would be as follows:

Indicator 3 Setting	Base Pattern	Login Name if Integer 1 = 1 and Integer 2 = 7	Login Name if Integer 1 = 2 and Integer 2 = 3	Login Name if Integer 1 = 3 and Integer 2 = 3
A	John Smith	jsmith	josmi	johsmi
B	Smith John	smithj	smijo	smijoh
C	John W Smith	jwsmith	jowsmi	johwsmi
D	Smith W John	smithwj	smiwjo	smiwjoh

Authentication Indicator System Standard 4 determines the numeric value that should be appended to an automatically generated login name if an identical name is already in the system.

B	The 4-digit year the employee was hired is appended to the end of the login name. When a duplicate login name is still detected, the next sequential number for the login name is appended to the end of the login name.

For example, if the automatically generated login name is johnsmith, and the new employee was hired in 2007, the modified login name would be as follows:

A	The new login name would be johnsmith1. If johnsmith1, johnsmith4, and johnsmith5 already exist in the system, the new employee is assigned the login name of johnsmith6.

Authentication Indicator System Standard 6 determines whether or not Employee Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are automatically created by the system for users initially signing into the system or when the PIN is reset.

The PIN naming pattern is determined by Authentication Indicator System Standard 7.

Authentication Indicator System Standard 7 is used to determine the pattern used to create an employee's Personal Identification Number (PIN) when initially logging into the system or when the employee PIN is reset.

When Authentication Configuration Indicator 6 is set to Y, PINs are automatically created as follows:

Valid Values:

A	Users can login with the PIN equal to the value stored in the Default Login PIN field.
B	Users can login with the PIN equal to the last four (4) digits employee's code. For example, when the employee code is ABC3456, the employee's PIN is 3456. When the Employee Code is less than 4 characters, the PIN is created with leading zeros to ensure a 4 digit PIN. For example, when the employee code is 56, the employee's PIN is 0056.
C	Users can login with the PIN equal to the employee's birth month and date in MMDD format. For example, when the employee's birth date is January 1, 1965, the employee's first-time PIN is 0101.

Valid Options:

N	Passwords are not automatically created
Y	Passwords are automatically created.

Authentication Indicator System Standard 7 is used to determine the pattern used to create an employee's Personal Identification Number (PIN) when initially logging into the system or when the employee PIN is reset.

When Authentication Configuration Indicator 6 is set to Y, PINs are automatically created as follows:

Valid Values:
