Configuring Security for All Instances

You can set the Security settings for all Archer instances through Installation settings, or for individual instances, at the instance on the General tab. Instance parameters are managed in the Archer Control Panel.

These settings determine whether:

  • Users can reset their passwords while working in Archer. Verify with your IT administrator that your instance is configured to allow users to change their passwords.

    • Security Parameters in Access Control determine the rules for password creation, password change enforcement, account lockout duration, session time-out behavior, and active session restrictions.

  • Users can open external URLs in text fields directly within the Archer instance.
  • Specified IP addresses are used for the IP Trusted List.
  • Users can enable and set domain names for Referer Header Checking.
  • Users can configure SSL connections as a default setting for FTP data feeds.
