Configuring the Security Settings (v 1.5.9)
by Michael Chinn 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Greetings, I'm configuring a new 1.5.9 install. I tried to look for the answer in the LedgerSMB manual but the manual from the website is for v1.3x... So. Under "Security Settings" Password Duration: Is this days? minutes? seconds? What is the default? Suggestion #1: Whatever the duration period is, place it next to the description along with the default value. Like so: Password Duration, in Days (Default=2 days): Session Lockout: Is this minutes? seconds? What is the default?. Suggestion #2: Whatever the duration period is, place it next to the description along with the default value. Like so: Session Lockout, in Minutes (Default=10 minutes): Suggestion #3 (for next release): Enable the Sys Admin to disable the Password Duration altogether. So setting the Password Duration to "0" means that user passwords do not expire. You could just replace the a "hard" password expiration with just a 180-day nag like this: Your password is over 180 days old. Please consider replacing the current password with a newer one. And, include a link/button that says: "Disregard". Which will stop the nag for another 180 days. Thanks!

That's in 'test' instead of 'main' and is version 1.5.9-2~1. That's also associated with the temporary branch 'dev/ApacheProxy' at https://github.com/ledgersmb/pkg-ledgersmb-1.5, as well as the open issue https://github.com/ledgersmb/pkg-ledgersmb-1.5/issues/2. At our apt package repository in 'test', for 'stretch': ledgersmb-1.5_1.5.9-2~1_all.deb ledgersmb-1.5-apache_1.5.9-2~1_all.deb ledgersmb-1.5-nginx_1.5.9-2~1_all.deb I emphasize that this is only a test version (and may not end up being the only one, depending on how the troubleshooting goes) for an issue with the apache proxy configuration associated with the legdersmb-1.5-apache package. Once that issue has been resolved, it will be released in a new non-test version. -- Robert J. Clay rjclay(a)gmail.com jame(a)rocasa.us 4096/198CAB6F43B7EA9A

The initial version of the debian pkg for legdgersmb-1.5, version 1.5.9-1, has been released and uploaded to our apt package repository for 'main' in stretch. It has also been uploaded to our PPA, for artful (the future v17.10).

I would have expected that you would need to connect to http://192.168.99.100:5762/setup.pl (or some other IP address, but at least that port). I noted that I responded to you privately, but I should have done so publicly on the mailing list. Would you mind moving back? That both provides you with more resources which could provide you with an answer as well as records our collective (developing) knowledge for others to read in the mail archives.

Last night new LedgerSMB 1.5.9, LedgerSMB 1.5 and LedgerSMB latest images were released on Docker Hub (https://hub.docker.com/u/ledgersmb/). These images fix a performance regression caused by the size reduction efforts of last month. With these new images, response times were seen to improve by a factor of 10. Please report your issues either on the development mailing list or directly in GitHub at https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker/issues -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.
