# Authentication settings
|
|
|
|
To adapt general system **authentication settings**, navigate to *Administration -> Authentication* and choose -> *Settings*.
|
|
|
|
You can adapt the following under the authentication settings:
|
|
|
|
## General authentication settings
|
|
|
|
1. Select if the **authentication is required** to access OpenProject. **Watch out**: If you un-tick this box your OpenProject instance will be visible to the general public without logging in. The visibility of individual projects depends on [this setting](../../../user-guide/projects/#set-a-project-to-public).
|
|
|
|
2. Select an option for **self-registration**. Self-registration can either be **disabled**, or it can be allowed with the following criteria:
|
|
|
|
a) **Account activation by email** means the user receives an email and needs to confirm the activation.
|
|
|
|
b) **Manual account activation** means that a system administrator needs to manually activate the newly registered user.
|
|
|
|
c) **Automatic account activation** means that a newly registered user will automatically be active.
|
|
|
|
3. Define if the **email address should be used as login** name.
|
|
|
|
4. Define after how many days the **activation email sent to new users will expire**. Afterwards, you will have the possibility to [re-send the activation email](../../users-permissions/users/#resend-user-invitation-via-email) via the user settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Define a registration footer for registration emails
|
|
|
|
You can define a footer for your registration emails under -> *Administration* -> *Authentication* -> *Settings*.
|
|
|
|
1. Choose for which **language** you want to define the registration footer.
|
|
2. Enter a **text for the registration footer**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configure password settings
|
|
|
|
You can change various settings to configure password preferences in OpenProject.
|
|
|
|
1. Define the **minimum password length**.
|
|
2. Define the password strength and select what **character classes are a mandatory part of the password**.
|
|
3. Define the **minimum number of required character classes**.
|
|
4. Define the number of days, after which a **password change should be enforced**.
|
|
5. Define the **number of the most recently used passwords that a user should not be allowed to reuse**.
|
|
6. Activate the **Forgot your password.** This way a user will be able to reset the own password via email.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Other authentication settings
|
|
|
|
There can be defined a number of other authentication settings.
|
|
|
|
1. Define the number of failed **login attempts, after which a user will be temporarily blocked**.
|
|
2. Define the **duration of the time, for which the user will be blocked after failed login attempts**.
|
|
3. Enable or disable the **autologin option**. This allows a user to remain logged in, even if he/she leaves the site. If this option is activated, the “Stay signed in” option will appear on the login screen to be selected.
|
|
4. Activate the **session expiration option**. If you select this option, an additional field will open, where you will be able to define the **inactivity time duration before the session expiry**.
|
|
5. Define to **log user login, name, and mail address for all requests**.
|
|
6. **Enable REST web service**. This activates an API-Interface, which allows communication between external services (for example MS Office) and the instance.
|
|
7. Do not forget to **save** your changes.
