Password

Passwords protect access to specific software or areas thereof. Chromeleon requires passwords in different situations:

A password is required to open the User Manager (CmUser program). The administrator assigns the password when s(he) creates the user database.

When the User Mode is enabled, a user can open the Chromeleon client only after entering the correct password. The administrator associates each user with an individual password in the User Manager. However, after the user correctly enters the assigned password, s(he) can change the password at any time.

A password is also required to sign sequences electronically (see: Electronic Signature). Each user has a password that allows him(her) to submit, review, and approve the signature according to his(her) privileges. This signature password, too, is assigned by the administrator in the User Manager program and can later be changed by the user. Electronic signature is possible only when User Mode is enabled.
