EFT Server can automatically check the user authentication database at regular intervals to make sure the user information is correct and current. This feature updates EFT Server only. You can also override EFT Server's refresh rate for each Site individually.
Depending on the refresh settings, a user account might not immediately appear in the administration interface when you create the account. When a user account that has not yet appeared in the list attempts to log on, the Server will query the user authentication manager to determine if the user account is authorized to connect to EFT Server. Once the account has been verified, it will appear in the list. You can also manually refresh to see any changes (View > Refresh User Database).
In the COM API, use ForceSynchronizeUserDatabase. |
To automatically update authentication information
In the administration interface, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.
In the left pane, click the Server node you want to configure.
In the right pane, click the General tab.
In the Default user database refresh interval list, select how often you want the EFT Server service to check for changes to the authentication database. If you do not want the service to check, click Never refresh user list automatically.
When you click Refresh in the administration interface, it only checks the EFT Server service for updated user information. It does not check the authentication database. |
