Forcing Users to Enter a Password

To increase security is it possible to force a user (domain or local)  to always put in their password in DataMiner?  For example:

  • can the "Remember me" option be removed?
  • can Windows\Domain users also be forced to put in their password?

Thanks for any suggestions!

The password is only remembered in the user session of that computer you are using. I would assume this should be a safe place, unless we are talking about shared computers and accounts on those computers. Is that the case?

Exactly, it is a 24-hour NOC station. Government facility.

I understand the additional security layer for local users where pw is not saved, but what would be the benefit for domain users in your scenario?

I mean, one of the general advantages of having domain users is that you don't need to log-in specifically on DataMiner: if you're logged on the laptop you can instantly log-in on your DMS with a single click.

Where a Cube client is running on a machine that is on the same domain of DataMiner, I can use Windows log-in
(the log-in screen doesn't ask for a pw, just a log-on button)

I'm currently on 3 different systems, one with domain level authentication and 2 without (local users) - where possible, I tend to prefer domain authentication: that way I can mandate users creation and pw security to another team (e.g. IT, AD admins...)

Worth mentioning that for increased Security requirements, HTTPS can be added: Setting up HTTPS on a DMA
This could be better than always exchanging the pw through plain http.

I agree, using domain integration or using SAML to integrate with an external authentication provider, is the preferred way forward.

Cyrus Uible [SLC] commented 21st October 2021

Yes, ultimately the direction we are moving is SAML whether by Azure AD or another provider. But that may be some months away still.
