Enable or Disable the Ability to Remember User Name

Viewing provides you the ability to enable or disable the Remember user name feature.

When the user logs on to the Viewing application, the user supplies a user name and password. You can make this user name the user enters to be remembered by the application for a certain period. Thus, the user is not required to enter the user name every time during log on.
  1. Stop the Apache Tomcat service(s).
  2. Locate the config.xml file.
    For Tomcat, you can find the config.xml file in the \I4V\WEB-INF\config subfolder of your Tomcat installation directory.
  3. Open the config.xml file in a text or XML editor.
  4. Locate the section: <property name="rememberUserName" value="true">
    • To enable the ability to remember, change the value of the "rememberUserName" attribute to "true".
    • To disable, change the value of the "rememberUserName" attribute to "false". By default, this value is "true".
  5. To make the application remember the user name for a certain period, enter a value against the "maxNoOfDaysToRemember" attribute.
    The value entered determines the number of days the user name is remembered by the application.
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Start Apache Tomcat service(s).
  8. In the Web browser you use for accessing Viewing application, enable cookies.
    Refer to the browser help instructions for procedure to enable the cookies.
    Note: If cookies are deleted, the user will be required to enter the user name for the application to remember the user name for the specified period.
