Security
- CorporateTime now offers the ability to configure a polite or secure level of login authentication. The polite level of authentication will show an error message if the information entered in the login box is incorrect. It will indicate which field contains the error, allowing the user to correct the information. The secure level does not indicate which field contains the incorrect information, thus providing a more secure environment. The administrator controls this behavior using the [LIMITS] secure-login parameter on the server. Accepted values for this parameter are:
TRUE (Display only that the credentials supplied are incorrect)
FALSE (Display more user-friendly error messages on incorrect sign-in)
