The Security Options offer administrators the ability to force all network traffic connected to the Server to use secure (SSL)  transmission protocols , and to enforce an inactivity timer before automatically logging the user off of the system.

The Secure Connection forces any MIMS transmissions to/from the server to use HTTP when set to Off, or HTTPS (Secure HTTP) when set to On.  The Auto option instructs MIMS to inspect the address of the device and if it is in one of the defined LAN-accessible domains, it will use HTTP.  If not a LAN-accessible device, HTTPS is used. Note that enabling secure connections can negatively impact network performance, and possibly slow down delivery of images to the user. The change takes effect after you click the Change Button. This option defaults to the Off position.

The Secure Connection setting does not control the security of the DICOM communications. Secure DICOM is configured through the definition of the DICOM port and protocol in the Devices table.

The Inactivity Time Out specifies the number of minutes of inactivity that will transpire before the server automatically logs the user off of the system. To set an inactivity time-out, type the number of minutes desired in the field, and click the Change Button.  A value of zero indicates no time-out.
