Enabling the Account-Management Page

Account management features only apply to Sites using GlobalSCAPE or ODBC authentication. This option is not available if other authentication types are used.

EFT Server provides an HTTPS account management page on which users can reset their password, if so configured in the Administrator. (For details of the AS2 account management page, refer to AS2 Account Management Web Page.)

The https:// page is hard-coded to /manageaccount with the default port of 443. If EFT Server HTTPS port is set to a different port, you must change the port number, and the user must provide the port number in the URL to log into the page (e.g., https://192.168.50.126/manageaccount:4433).

Refer to Changing a Site's IP Address or Port for the procedure for changing the port number.

It is strongly recommended that you enable the account management page over HTTPS (using the procedure below) so that your users will be able to change their passwords.

To enable the account management page

  1. In the Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

  2. In the left pane, click the Site that you want to configure.

  3. In the right pane, click the Connections tab.

  4. Select the HTTPS check box.

  5. Select the Enable account management page over HTTPS check box. The URL is displayed in the text box to the right (e.g., https://localhost/manageaccount). The URL is not editable, but you can select and copy it to provide to users.

  6. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
