Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Accounts Admin / Secure Mode
Veripress gives users the option to login using Secure Mode, which allows the administrator to create accounts for
users and groups, with each group configured to allow or deny its users access to particular applications and functions.
When Secure Mode is active, users are required to enter a username
and password whenever the Client is started or users are changed.
The username and password are both case sensitive.
The Accounts Admin menu option is selected in order to display the
panels for configuring any Users and Groups and these should be
created prior to activating Secure Mode.
The Log Out option only appears once Secure Mode has been
activated. Selecting this while using Veripress in Secure Mode
simultaneously logs the current user out and generates the Login
window with options to login as a new user and select a Server to
connect to, or Quit the application. While the Login window is
displayed, the Client is effectively locked to all users. The Server will
continue to operate normally.
Setting up Users and User Groups
Veripress’ Secure Mode is set inactive by default. The software will continue to function normally whether or not
Secure Mode is activated.
Important Note: It is recommended all users and groups requiring access be setup BEFORE activating Secure Mode.
Secure Mode cannot be activated until at least one (1) user has been created. This would usually be the Admin account,
as this is automatically created when the Accounts Admin option is selected for the first time.
1. Select Server Menu > Accounts Admin… to display the configuration panels.
Activating Secure Mode
Once the initial user account(s) have been setup, Secure Mode can be
activated by checking the tick box located via Server menu > Server
Settings (General tab).
Secure Mode can only be activated or deactivated by an administrator (a
member of the Admin group).
Configuration Panels
Users Panel
The fields within the Users panel are:
• Name – The username of the account. This is case sensitive.
• User ID – This is a numerical ID assigned automatically but may be changed
by the administrator.
• Password / Verify – The password is entered and stored here. New
passwords must be verified by entering the details in each field. The
password is also case sensitive.
• Permission – The level of permission for the user is created here. Click Edit to
make changes to the user read/write/execute permissions.
• Email – Enter the users email address here.
• Comment – Allows the administrator to enter a note on the particular user account if necessary.
