Login/Logout

Use the Login/Logout section to specify password reset and confirmation dialog preferences.

Display Change Password

This setting determines whether you will allow Web Viewer users to change their mainframe passwords through CA OM Web Viewer and when and if the change password display should be shown on the CA OM Web Viewer login screen.

Note: Users can only change their external security mainframe passwords. LDAP password change is not supported.

There are three password change options:

Allowed

The users can change their mainframe password through the CA OM Web Viewer login page at anytime.

Note: LDAP users will see the password change option, but not be able to user it. If you have both LDAP and Mainframe users, consider using the Allowed After Password Expires option, which will show the password change dialog only after a user’s external security expires.

With the Allowed After Password Expires option, LDAP users will never see the password change option, but Mainframe users will see it when their password expires.

Not

The users are not allowed to change their mainframe passwords through CA OM Web Viewer.

Allowed After Password Expires

The users are allowed to change their mainframe passwords through CA OM Web Viewer, but only after their passwords have expired.

Note: LDAP users will never see the password change panel. LDAP password change is not supported.

Confirm Logout

The Confirm Logout option is a general setting for all of Web Viewer that determines whether users have to confirm their logout. When the option is checked, the user will be asked, "Are you sure you want to log off," after clicking the logout button. When the option is turned off, the user will not get a confirmation after clicking log out.
