Note       The default value of Multifactor Authentication timer (sec) is 10 seconds.

 

Note    •  The generic readers configured by the cpamadmin is not restricted to any hierarchical location.

      When a location-restricted user creates a generic reader, the hierarchical location field is auto-populated.

       The location-restricted users can access only devices (generic readers) of their location and the events for these devices alone is populated for them.

 

Note     These points are applicable only when the profile enhancement feature on the Logins page of the System Configuration window (starting with ICPAM 2.1); otherwise, the ICPAM appliance retains its behavior as in CPAM 1.5.1.
