Username and Password

Username and Password is the default authentication method in FastClose. You must create users along with their usernames and passwords: they cannot self-register.

There is always an account called Administrator available that you can use to login and bootstrap the rest of your users. The default password is available from your FastClose support representative.

Enable Username and Password Authentication

On the Admin site: Click System → Setup and scroll to the Server Authentication section.

Select Username and Password from the dropdown and click Save.

Remember Me

The Remember Me feature only applies to users logging in to the Admin app or Reader web app at the time of writing. It securely saves a cookie in the users browser so that users do not have to login with their username and password every time.

FIPS Compliance

FastClose version 3.3+: Ticking the FIPS Compliance box switches password hashing to a cryptographic algorithm which complies with Federal Information Processing Standards (PBKDF2 with SHA-512), if supported by and enabled in the underlying operating system of the FastClose Server. Existing passwords will have to be changed for the switch to take effect.
