    1. Enable Authorization: Confirm that it is turned on (default).
      • When authorization is enabled, anyone logging in through EA3 (both local and enterprise users) must have a role. Anyone without a role is denied access. This means that everyone in your department must have a password to log onto the MR system.
    2. Emergency Logon Allowed: Either enable or disable (default, recommended) this option.
      • Enable Emergency Logon Allowed if you want to grant system access to an MR tech who does not have a password.
      • Disable Emergency Logon Allowed to prevent emergency user access.
    3. Emergency Roles: These are the roles that are assigned to the emergency user, which is a Standard user role.
    4. Configure delay after authentication failure: This setting defines a delay time, in seconds, that a user is prevented from logging onto the system after an authentication failure. The value must be a number of 1 or greater. The recommended value is 3-5 seconds.
    5. Inactivity Timeout (Minutes): The minutes that must elapse without any mouse/keyboard, etc. activity before a timeout is generated. When a timeout is generated, the EA3 logon screen is displayed. This value can be any positive integer, or it can be 0. If the value is 0, this indicates NO inactivity timeout; regardless of how much time has elapsed the system does not timeout.
    6. Display Last Logon Name: When this setting is enabled, each time the splash logon screen is displayed, it displays the user ID of the last user that has logged in. As an administrator, you can see who had the last access to the system.
    7. Administrator Message: Under certain circumstances/error conditions, the user of EA3 is asked to contact an administrator. This field allows the administrator to specify their contact details and a custom message.
    8. Emergency Prompt: The text that is displayed to any user logging in as emergency. The user is asked to enter information (usually their actual user name). This text appears in that prompt for information.
    9. Click Apply Configuration to accept your configuration changes.
      • If there was a problem with making the changes (such as an invalid value or a problem contacting the back end Servlet) an error message box appears with a description of the error.
      • If the changes are successful, then a brief message appears indicating that the changes were applied in a green label.
