Authentication History

The Authentication History screen displays a record of employee login attempts during the current pay period, including whether or not the attempt was successful, the application code the employee logged into, the windows user and the IP address, if applicable.

This information is retrieved from the AuthenticationHistory table. The AuthenticationHistory table is logged when an employee logs into the Web Portal, ESS, TimeCall® and any Utility that connects to the database, such as Process Developer or Work Order Installer.
