Authentication System Settings

Overview of System Settings

Within Tinubu Surety Solution for Carriers (TSC), administrator users can access system settings to modify how certain functions are handled. These settings allow each client to customize certain areas of TSC to best fit their business practices.
There are many settings within TSC that are pre-configured whenever a new site is delivered. These should not be changed. This article is to point out and explains the settings which are available for clients to modify to meet their needs.
After any changes are made to settings within TSC, be sure to save the changes with the Save button and to clear the application cache with the Clear Cache button at the top of the Settings page for the changes to take effect.

The Authentication settings are for controlling security features within TSC.
Select Setup/Settings and click on the triangle to view the Authentication menu.

The LoginExpirationMinutes setting designates the number of minutes of idleness before the logged-in user’s session will expire and will be required to log in again.

The AllowRememberMe settings toggle the Remember Me check box when users log in.
- Enter True or False in the Value column for the setting. This allows the user to return to TSC at a later time without needing to log in again.

The RememberMeExpirationDays settings designate the number of days users who selected the Remember Me function when logging in will be able to return to the site without needing to log in again.
