5.6 Login Time Restrictions for Remote Users

This module provides an option to restrict the individual user’s application login time. By default Identity Console does not impose any login restrictions. You can, however, set the restrictions by accessing the Time Restrictions property page.

If a user logs in remotely from a different time zone than the server processing the login request, any login time restrictions that have been set for the user are adjusted for the time difference. For example, if you restrict a user from logging in Mondays from 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. and the user logs in remotely from a time zone that is one hour later than the server, the restriction effectively becomes 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. for that user. The session timeout default value is 15 minutes, and the user can change the value.

To set login time restrictions for remote users, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Identity Console home page, click Roles and Tasks.

  2. Click Users > Modify User.

  3. Specify the name and context of the User or Users you want to modify, then click OK.

  4. On the Restrictions tab, click Time Restrictions.

  5. Select from the following options:

    Time Grid

You can also select multiple times by holding down the Shift key, clicking a cell, then dragging across the corresponding cells. The login time restrictions you set are stored in the Login Allowed Time Map property of this object.
