This section allows configuring overall security settings for the application. You can enable/disable several security procedures, set a password policy, allow/deny uploading specific file types and configure time stamp server information on this page.

Details

SSL Options

This subsection allows setting SSL options.

Open

Force SSL?

Forces connection to use SSL protocol. When checked all non-SSL connections (HTTP) are automatically redirected to SSL (HTTPS) connection.

Certificate Password

SSL certificate password. Not required if no SSL certificate is added.

Copy/paste your certificate content into this area. The certificate must in PFX format and the password must be set.

General Settings

Open

Single Session

Restricts users to have only one session at a time. When this feature is enabled, users can not log into the application from more than one computer at the same time.

Use Session Cookie

Specify whether the session cookie is used or not.

By default, emakin uses local storage and cookies at the same time to prevent XSS and CSRF attacks. Both of these tokens must be in correlation to ensure the session is valid.

Some browsers (especially do-not-track mode) may reject storing any kind of cookie for privacy concerns. When this mode, emakin logins may fail. Enabling this setting disables all cookie usages and all session information is stored in the browser’s local storage area.

Login Token Expiration

Specifies the maximum duration for login tokens. These tokens are specially used for e-mail or integration-based authentications. After this period login token became invalid and cannot be used.

For example “I Forget Password” feature uses this duration and the generated e-mail authentication link will be valid for a given duration.

Bearer Token Expiration

Specifies the session duration. These tokens are used for session control and renewed automatically in the background if about the expire.

Authentication Storage

Specifies where to store generated bearer tokens in the browser.

Local Storage; Sessions are stored until the user is logged off or expires.

Session Storage; Sessions are terminated when the browser window is closed.

Audit Log

Retention Duration

Specifies the retention period for audit log entries stored in the database. Default value is 180 days.

Password Policy

Enforce a password policy for built-in authentication with Emakin login method.

Minimum Password Length

Minimum Upper Case (A..Z) Letters

Specify the minimum number of upper case letters required.

Minimum Numeric (0..9) Letters

Files

Antivirus Service URL

Specifies the antivirus scanner service URL.

Currently only ClamAVNet is supported and an example service URL can be specified as “tcp://hostname:3310”

The anti-virus definition database is updated from the https://database.clamav.net address. Please be sure ClamAV has a connection to this URL before enabling it.

Allowed File Types

Mime Type

Specify the mime type of the file type you want to allow/deny.

If not configured emakin denies the following file types by default;
