How to Setup Login Configuration
The Login Configuration section of Company Management will be used to determine which members can and cannot log in to the club's ClubHouse Online website. Administrators will also have the ability to set password guidelines and requirements for user accounts.
- Log in to the club's ClubHouse Online website with an Administrator user account and access Club Central.
- From within Club Central, click Planet icon (Open Application List) at the top left.
- Select Modules > Company Management from the Applications list or select Company Management application tile from the Dashboard.
- Select Login Configuration from the left navigation and the configuration options will be displayed.
The following items can be configured.
Login Filtering
The Login Filters will prevent members from accessing authenticated content or member modules on the website. There are two filters: Login Status Filtering and Login Dues Class Filter. Each of the two filters contain all of the Member Statuses and all of the Dues Classes that are listed within the club's accounting system. Any Member Status or Dues Class that is selected within either of the filters, will be prevented from logging into the website.
When the Member Status or Dues Class Filter is:
- Checked - Member is prevented from logging in to the website.
- Unchecked - Member has access to login to website.
Note: If a member was previously able to register and login to the website, but their status or dues class was updated in the club's accounting system to match one of the filtered criteria, they will no longer be able to log in to the website. The member status has to be changed back in the accounting system to a status that is allowed to log in. Or the filters have to be adjusted if any were selected in error.
Password Configuration
The Password Configuration section can be used to establish the guidelines User's will need to follow in order to setup a password for their account. From this section configure the Minimum Length, Complexity and the Sender Email parameters.
Minimum Length
Enter minimum number of characters a user will have to enter in order to create a password for their account.
- 14 is the recommended minimum.
Complexity
Determine the minimum requirements when the user creates their password.
- Complex is recommended.
- The following settings are available in the drop-down menu:
- None - There are no requirements for the User's password except for the Minimum Length.
- Letters - The User's password must have at least one letter.
- Numbers - The User's password must have at least one number.
- Alphanumeric - The User's password must have at least one letter and one number.
- Complex - The User's password must have at least one letter, one number and at least one special character.
Strength
This is a measurement of how difficult the User's passwords will be to decipher. This measurement is based on the Minimum Length and Complexity settings configured.
Depending on the club's settings the following results can be displayed:
- Excellent - Extremely difficult for someone to guess.
- Great - Moderately difficult for someone to guess.
- Average - Relatively easy for someone to guess.
- Weak - Easy for someone to guess.
- Very Weak - Extremely easy for someone to guess.
Password Expires
The number of days the reset password email is valid before the link in the email expires and can no longer be used.
- 2 or 3 days is recommended.
- User could always request another reset password email, if the original one already expired.
Sender Email
This parameter is used to specify which email will be listed as the 'From' address when a password reset email is received by a user.
- Recommend a valid email address be entered for a contact at the club. If user clicks reply from their inbox this email address will be auto-populated in the To: Field.
Password Reset Requirement
There are two options to choose from when setting the Password Reset Requirement:
- Username - Users will be required to enter their Username exactly the same as they would normally login, in order to have the password reset email sent to the email address that is attached to their User account. Username is not case sensitive.
- User Email Address - Users will be required to enter the email address that is attached to their User account in order to have the password reset email sent to that email address. Recommend setting this to User Email Address, because a member may forget their username.
Note: If the same email address has been used for different user accounts. The user will not be able to reset their password on their own. They would have to contact an administrator at the club and they will assist with sending the reset password email. Instructions can be found in the How to Send a User a Password Reset section.
