OrgPlus support and maintenance information

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

I highly recommend adding a support and maintenance plan to your OrgPlus purchase. In my opinion, the best benefit of this plan is being able to upgrade, at no additional cost, when OrgPlus issues a new release. For example, if you have OrgPlus 7 Professional 100 and version 8 is released, you can move to OrgPlus 8 Professional 100 at no charge. You also have free access to the tech support team for software related problems.  This means that if you have technical issues with OrgPlus, our team will assist you in correcting the problem.

Single Sign On in OrgPlus Enterprise

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Single Sign On (SSO) is a method of passing credentials into OrgPlus Enterprise (OPE) from a chosen security adapter inside the Admin panel of OPE. An example is the Generic Adapter SSO which passes security information into OPE through a URL. Credentials are cached in OPE until the user’s session has ended. The session will end when one of the following events occur:

- Select ‘Sign Out.’
- Close the Browser completely (if on OPE 3.3 or above).
- The session ends after the “Idle Timeout” period has passed. This setting is located in the Application Pool under the ‘Performance’ tab in Internet Information Services.
