Security Options page

Use the Security Option page of the Site Configuration window to configure security options for the HCL Compass Web application.

Settings on the Security Option page take effect immediately; there is no need to restart the server. However, only subsequent HCL Compass Web application sessions reflect these changes. Existing web application sessions continue to use the settings that were in effect when the sessions started.

Table 1 describes the controls on the Security Option page.
