Server Security Settings

This dialog controls the security settings for external applications connecting to the PReS Connect Server, such as PReS Workflow or scripts communicating through the REST API.

It is highly recommended to keep security enabled and change the password on any server that accessible from the web. If these precautions are not taken, data saved in the server may be accessible from the outside!
  • Enable server security: Enable to add authentication to the REST server.
    - When enabled, the same username and password (which cannot be blank) must be entered in any remote Connect Designer that links to this Server. The Designer username and password entries can be found under the Print Preferences sub-section of the Designer Preferences dialog.
    - When disabled, a username and password is not required to make REST request, and tasks in PReS Workflow do not require them in the Proxy tab. Nor would a username and password be required on any remote Connect Designer that links to this Server.
  • Administrator's username: Enter the username for the server security. The default username is ol-admin.
  • Administrator's password: Enter a password for the server security. The default password is secret.
  • Confirm password: Re-enter the password for the server security.
  • Default session length (min): Enter a session time (in minutes) that the authentication stays valid for the requested process. This can reduce the number of requests to the server since an authentication request is not necessary during the session.
