Password Management

Passwords
Once all the Security Profiles are created, and all CDS users are assigned to the appropriate Profiles, the
Administrator should provide the users with their assigned User Names. Their initial password is istat.
When a user logs on to the CDS application for the first time, a dialog box
opens asking for a User Name and Password. Input the User Name sup-
plied by the Administrator, and the password istat. A dialog then opens
prompting to change the password. After clicking OK, the dialog shown
opens.
The user should type in a unique password of their choosing in the space
provided, then retype that same password on the New Password Verification line and click OK. The pass-
word must have a minimum length of 3 alphanumeric characters, and a maximum length of 12 alphanu-
meric characters.
Once the password is changed, the user will then use their new password for all subsequent CDS log-ons.
Emergency Passwords
If a user forgets their User Name and Password, they have two options for accessing the CDS application:
If available, the Administrator can log onto the User Administration Workspace and look up the User
Name from the User Window. An Emergency Password for this particular user can then be obtained by
performing the following:
1. Click and highlight this particular user's listing in the User Window.
Click User > Emergency Password. A box opens with an Emergency
2.
Password that this particular user can use. Once this user uses the Emer-
gency Password to log in, they will be immediately prompted to change
their password for future CDS log-ins. They cannot continue to use the
Emergency Password for log-in purposes.
If the Administrator is not available, the user can contact Abaxis Technical Ser-
vice for an emergency User Name and/or password.
