Signature Portal Security overview

This section contains general information and tips about Signature Portal Security.

  • The objects (and meta) need to be created only once per company, but they can be run additional times without destroying any data.

  • Installation of SQL objects is transactional; if the install fails, all objects are removed.

  • ODBC isn't used. When you're prompted for server names, enter the actual server name, not an ODBC name.

  • Signature Portal Security uses Integrated Windows Authentication. You can change this in the PortalSecurity.exe.config file.

  • Signature Portal Security can support multiple companies. You can select different companies or add companies as needed.

  • Signature Portal Security contains all the SQL objects. You can add new companies without installation media.

  • When you set up security for the portals, grant permissions before you load a visual template.

  • Visual templates rely on data permissions and won't load correctly if the data permissions aren't set.

  • Job Cost creates and maintains SQL logins. The users are associated with employees. A single user can be associated with an employee in more than one company.

  • The assignment of the SQL user needs to be set to none for all companies before a user can be deleted.

  • Signature Portal Security application errors are sent to the Windows Event Log (WennSoft).
