MBS Guru: GP Password Expired mid-day... while I was posting a Batch

Michael Johnson looks at a case where the GP Password Expired mid-day... while he was posting a Batch. Ouch. Fortunately MJ has some code that will warn you before your password expires. We’ve covered it before here on DynamicAccounting.net and there is a link a to it in the Downloads section but it’s worth noting again.

Weekly Dynamic: Increase the number of password tries

By default in Dynamics GP, if you type your password wrong 3 times GP closes. This setting can be controlled in the Dex.ini file.

The setting is:

 

SQLNumLoginTries = number

 

The default is 3, setting this to –1 allows an unlimited number of tries. This doesn’t change any SQL based lockout parameters, it simply keeps GP from closing after 3 tries.

Dynamics GP Password Expiration Notice

Michael Johnson has posted a free customization designed to provide a Password Expiration Notice in Dynamics GP when using the SQL Password rules option. I’ve including a link in the Downloads section as well.

Dynamics GP and Password Expiration Warning

Michael Johnson debuts a process using VST to warn Dynamics GP users that their password is going to expire. The code is free and it's a great addition to the community. Thanks Michael!
