Security settings


 

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 the system.

The Secure Connection forces eRAD PACS transmissions to/from the server to use HTTP when set to off, or HTTPS (Secure HTTP) when set to on. The auto option instructs eRAD PACS to inspect the device address. If it is located in one of the defined LAN-accessible domains, it uses HTTP. If it is not a LAN-accessible device, it uses HTTPS. Enabling secure connections can negatively impact network performance, and possibly slow down image delivery to the user. Click the Change Button to make changes take effect (the default is off).

 

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 inactive minutes before the server automatically logs the user off the system. To set an inactivity time-out, enter the number of minutes desired in the field, and click the Change Button. A value of zero indicates no time-out.
