Implement 64 character background password for scheduling jobs 8.0 PR2

Administrators who use remote login authentication and schedule jobs to run

while they are logged out, could cause jobs to fail if they change their LDAP PW

after logout.

Currently, certain customers have separate external authentication passwords assigned to

QIP administrators which are stored externally from the QIP database. If a QIP normal

administrator logs into QIP and schedules a job to run at a future date/time, then when the

job runs within QIP, the username and password will come from the QIP database, and

authentication of the scheduled job will fail since the QIP admin password from the

database does not match the external authentication password.

This feature will allow for a separate internal 64 character password for every defined QIP

administrator to be used specifically for job scheduling.

• Create 64 character password when a new user is created

• Check at logon if an existing user has a 64 character password. if not one will

be automatically created

Unrestricted Virtualisation

When deploying a software appliance on your physical hardware, the choice of hardware is your own, only x64

Red Hat compatibility is a requirement

When deploying an Alcatel-Lucent virtual appliance the resources you provide to the virtual host are limited only by the resources

available to the host, we do not artificially lock down virtual resources

We provide a single unlimited/unlocked ISO image, we do not artificially limit the performance of our virtual appliances

unlike our competitors virtualised solutions which are limited to specific hardware resources per image and rate limited to

specific performance levels

Virtualised or Software appliances from Alcatel-Lucent are not performance/resource restricted
