How do you maintain it?

User synchronization

When using this login functionality, it is important that the user databases be in synch between Digital
StoreFront and the customer’s. Users should be updated on a regular basis using the Digital StoreFront
bulk import tool.

In some cases, our professional services team will be able to perform additional services to extend this
functionality. Currently, Professional Services will evaluate each proposed Login Bypass implementation
to determine the level of effort and required work.

Email Notifications

Unless the customer is expected to know their User Name and password, it is recommended that email
notifications be turned off when using this login functionality. This includes Approval workflows.

Security Issues

Encryption

User passwords are one way SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm*) encrypted on the Digital StoreFront server.
However, some customers may have encryption and security standards for all servers and applications
within their environment. It is important to gather any of these possible requirements from the
customer to ensure that Digital StoreFront can meet their implementation requirements.

Site/Page Security

Because Digital StoreFront uses a unique page that serves only to lookup the customer ID and bypass
the Digital StoreFront home page, security and access to that page can be controlled via Internet
Information Server just like any other web application. IP filtering, for example, can be used to ensure
that only users of a certain network can access Digital StoreFront.

Other Important Notes

The customer’s Windows/Domain Login is does not interact in ANY way with the above functionality.
The customer must arrive at Digital StoreFront from another web page that passes login credentials in
order for this to work.
