RiskyProject License and Security

Using License and Security tab and User Magement dialog you may update number of users, authentication modes, and other information. Number of users, type of user licenses (concurrent or named users) and license duration come from the license file, such as RiskyProject.lic. If this file is not available, default number of users will be 1, license duration will be 30 days:

• If you use concurrent user type, RiskyProject will control how many users can logon to the database at the same time.
• If you use named user type, RiskyProject will control how many user names can be available.

You may select if you would like to use Windows and RiskyProject Authentication (Active directory). Alternatively, you can use RiskyProject Authentication. If you use Windows Authentication, you may define a Domain Name for Active directory.

Switching Between Authentication Modes

In RiskyProject you may Have different user authentication using different modes. For example, user John will have Windows authentication and user Jack will have RiskyProject authentication. Authentication modes are defined in the Users and Org. Structure tab of User Management dialog box.

You can switch between two authentication methods using License and Security tab of User Management dialog.

• If you switch from Windows and RiskyProject authentication to RiskyProject authentication you must have a least one administrator with RiskyProject authentication. After the switch only uses with RiskyProject authentication mode can logon to RiskyProject.
• If you switch from RiskyProject authentication to Windows and RiskyProject authentication, your organizational breakdown structure defined with RiskyProject authentication will be augmented with users, security groups, and organizational units from Windows directory.

In both cases, switching from one authentication mode to another, any previously defined organization structures and users will be preserved.
