Main settings (Administration DataCockpit)

(1) Company: The company (also called group) name can be freely assigned. This is used for grouping (folder structure) in the user overview of the DataCockpit.

(2) LDAP ID: If the field contains a value and DataCockpit is connected to LDAP (entry <Set name="ldapAlias">MyAlias</Set> in configuration file ./etc/startup.xml), the password in (3) is compared to the LDAP password. The option 'Forgot password?' in the login dialogue will not be available in that case. If the field stays empty, the password in (3) is compared to the password stored for the user as if there was no LDAP connection.

(3) Password: These buttons allow you to enter a password and to view it in plaintext. Note: It is possible to define a password policy (i.e. how a password must be formed) for Web Monitor users in configuration file ./etc/startup.xml. The following section has to be added to element <New class="de.lobster.webmon.apps.WebMonitor">. The first argument is the regular expression that defines how the password has to be formed. The second argument is the error message in case the entered password is not correct. Note: The string &amp; in this section is the escape sequence for the character & in XML files.

<!-- sample password policy; define regex and error message -->
<Call name="setPasswordPolicy">
<Arg>^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[@#$%!&amp;-+=()])(?=\S+$).{5,20}$</Arg>
<Arg>Password must be 5 to 20 chars and contains at least one digit, upper, lower and special char!</Arg>
</Call>

(4) Disable user on DMZ: If this checkbox is set, the user cannot log in to the DMZ server. This setting has no effect if the use has the right Power User.

(5) Mail: This address is used if you want to recover your password in the login dialogue. In addition, configuration file ./etc/startup.xml has to contain the entry mailSenderForPassword and no LDAP-ID (2) must be specified.
