Camms is pleased to bring you the Quarterly Product Update Notification for the Platform Update

This quarter, we've got exciting enhancements to improve your user experience within the system. The features below will be activated on a regional basis. Here are the activation dates for each region:

Introduction of a new common login page to replace the multiple product-specific login pages previously in use. This modification provides seamless access to all Camms products through a single, unified login interface, simplifying the user experience and enhancing security.

This update is applicable for clients who use forms authentication.

How does it work?

• Users will be redirected to the common login page when they enter a product URL. Upon successful authentication, they will be redirected to the relevant product.

• If the user enters the URL of the common login page, they will be redirected to the product portal upon successful authentication, where all purchased products will be displayed.(i.e.https://camms.com.au/portal)

This enhancement strengthens the password policy for forms authentication. Passwords must now consist of a minimum of 8 characters and include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one symbol.

How does it work?

• When the password is changed or reset, it must meet the following criteria. This is applicable to the Manage User area and the Change Password option within My Settings across all products.

  • Must consist of minimum of 8 characters 

  • Must include at least an upper-case letter

  • Must include at least one lower case letter

  • Must include at least one number 

  • Must include at least one symbol.

• As the user types the password, the conditions that are fulfilled will be highlighted in green.

This modification allows for the configuration of the account lockout policy. The account will be locked for a specified period after a certain number of failed login attempts. During this lockout period, the user will be unable to log in to the product. The user will be able to log in again once the configured lockout period has ended.

How does it work?

• The account will be locked for the configured duration after the specified number of failed attempts. After each failed attempt, the system will indicate the number of remaining attempts.

• Once the account is locked, the user will not be able to log in to the product. The user will be able to log in again after the configured lockout period has ended. The system will indicate the time remaining until the account is unlocked.

How to configure?

• Please contact Camms support to enable this feature.

• To enable this feature, please provide the following three values to the Camms support team:

  • Account lockout threshold: The number of allowed failed attempts (recommended threshold is 3 failed attempts). 

  • Account lockout duration: The account lockout duration in minutes (recommended duration is 5 minutes).

  • Reset account lockout counter: The duration (in minutes) to reset the lockout counter (recommended duration is 1 minute).

"This modification enables the configuration of the password expiry period. Once expired, users must reset their passwords."

How does it work?

• Users will have to change the password after the configured period of time.

• When the password's validity period expires, upon successful authentication, the user will receive a prompt stating: “Your password has expired and must be changed”.

• The user will be redirected to a page where they must enter their current password and a new password to reset it.

How to configure?

• Please contact Camms support to enable this feature.

• To enable this feature, please provide the desired number of days for password expiration to the Camms support team.
