Security passwords
During the security upgrade procedure, you are prompted for several passwords that are required to link security features with your system. You are also prompted to authorize access to the host server and to the security management tools.
Any and all necessary passwords are created by your security administrator. Make certain that these passwords and other items, such as port numbers, host names/numbers, and location of certificates are safely recorded for future reference. These must be kept in a secure location.
The main advantage of having the administrator issue passwords instead of Infor is that the private key and passwords are never exposed. Request and certificate files, when transmitted, only contain public information.
This ensures that only your organization has access to any private information and passwords.
This table shows the different password levels:
Password level | Description |
---|---|
Customer password | This password is associated with the unique customer name that is specified for your organization by Infor. This is required to access the system and issue user certificates. The issuer is Infor. |
Host server password | This password is required to access certificate files that are maintained on the host server. The issuer is the customer. |
Administrator certificate password | This password is required to access the administrator certificate. The issuer is the customer. |
