The Customer Configuration maintains settings that determine how the application appears and how passwords function for all users from your organization. Specific password parameters include setting a minimum password length, requiring passwords to contain alphanumeric characters, and setting the number of days a password is valid.
Note: The application has certain required security controls in place. For example, the User Name and Password values cannot be the same, and the previous eight passwords cannot be reused. In addition, if a user has not logged in within a set number of days (defined at the system level), they will be set to inactive in the system, and eventually removed after further days of inactivity.
The page size options indicate how many items will display. You can increase or decrease the number of items based on the speed of your Internet connection. Your financial institution has set up basic values for these settings when your organization was added to the system. The parameters that you set on this page must fall within the constraints already established by the system and/or your financial institution. The dual control option, if applicable, directs how user record additions, changes, and deletions are handled. The Configuration page also includes contact information so that your FI knows whom to contact and displays the originating DFI R/T number that will be used for your transaction collections.
Once these parameters are set, you usually do not need to modify them. The application also allows you to create a report of this page, if you have the appropriate security access.
