Configuring Security
Set SSH Password for Service Account
An SSH connection can be enabled on the Security tab of the System Administration > System
Settings page to authenticate remote users (including technical support representatives) that log into
the System. Use the [Set SSH Password for Service Account] button to set the password.
IPSDCU Fallback Mode
Credential information is stored on the System Controller. If an IPSDC loses communication with the
System Controller, credentials scanned at a reader cannot be verified. Select Use Local Cache Table
to grant access if the card matches one of the last 50 credentials used to successfully gain access, as
stored in the local cache of the IPSDC.
Note the following details about IPSDCU fallback mode:
•
For the first 40—60 seconds of network connectivity loss, the IPSDC will continue to try to
verify credentials via the System Controller. If the System Controller cannot be reached,
credentials will be declined until IPSDC fallback mode starts.
•
If credentials are changed or deleted, all data cached on IPSDCs is cleared.
Encrypt IPSDC Communications
By default, this check box is selected to encrypt communications between the System Controller and
IPSDCs to enhance data security.
