Options and field descriptions #
Session Timeout – This option allows you to select the amount of time (in minutes) a user can be idle (not using the system) before being automatically signed out. Should a user leave their computer unattended and logged in to MindSalt, a shorter session timeout might prevent unauthorized access to that user's account. The default 'Session Timeout' for new systems is 300 minutes, or 5 hours.
Use the employee's email address as their sign-in name – When selected, each user's email address will be used as their username. When unselected, you may define a unique username for each of your users unrelated to their email address.
Enable Single Sign-On (SSO) via OpenID Connect – Enable or disable single sign-on via OpenID Connect. See Configure single sign-on for more information.
