EFT Administration

EFT’s administrator login dialog allows you to login as an administrator using preconfigured accounts created in EFT’s internal authentication database, Windows local administrator accounts, or Active Directory-based accounts. A drop-down list is provided from which you can choose EFT Authentication, Currently Logged On User, or Windows Authentication. (The use of Active Directory accounts for administrator login is available with the Advanced Security module only.) The last-used authentication scheme selected is saved locally and recalled the next time the administrator logs in.

After EFT is configured, you can open the administration interface and login automatically using the EFT computer's local administrator credentials from a command line or a Windows shortcut, using the EFT administrator listening IP address and port.

• EFT allows you to specify Active Directory accounts and local computer administrators as EFT administrators.

• Changing and administrator password, locking out an administrator account, removing an administrator account, enforcing complex passwords,password history, and password reset on an administrator account, and expiring passwords on administrator accounts apply to EFT-managed accounts only.
