Automatic Passwords
When a user creates a new account for iEBMS, the system can be configured to generate an automatic password for the account. If system generated passwords are used, the user is not prompted to create a new password. The system notifies the user that his/her password was automatically generated and will be emailed to the user once the account is created. To configure the system to create automatic passwords, follow the below steps:
1. From the Main Menu, click the Logon link. The Edit Logon Configuration screen opens.
2. On the General tab, check the Use System Generated Passwords checkbox.
3. Click OK.
Configuring the Password Length
You can configure the length of any iEBMS automatically generated passwords. To do this, follow the below steps:
1. From the Main Menu, click the Logon link. The Edit Logon Configuration screen opens.
2. On the General tab, check the Use System Generated Passwords check box.
3. In the Password Length field, enter the number of characters for the automatic password.
4. Click OK.
If the Use System Generated Passwords check box is checked and no value is entered into the Password Length field, the system will not use a specific amount of characters, and it will vary each time.
When iEBMS is configured to automatically generate passwords, an email is sent to the user when the password is generated. If you do not wish for this email to be automatically sent, follow these steps:
1. From the Main Menu, click the Logon link. The Edit Logon Configuration screen will open.
2. On the General tab, in the Use System Generated Password section, check the Suppress Automatic Emailing check box.
3. Click OK.
IEBMS Accounts without Passwords
If an account has the Internet Logon check box checked on the Edit Account screen but does not have an iEBMS password, the system will automatically create a five character password for the account. The account does not receive notification of the automatically created password.
