InvoiceReady - Login issues


Summary:   

This article aims to provide assistance with common issues that a user might face when logging in to InvoiceReady.

Instructions:

Password login

Invoiceready cloud environments enforce the use of strong passwords.

 

Password Login Policy

The Strong Password cannot be the same as the user's username, first name or last name, and it cannot contain the username or the user's first or last name. A strong (secure) password must include: 

  • at least 8 characters 
  • both uppercase and lowercase letters 
  • at least one number and special character 

Password cannot be changed before current password has been taken into use at least in 3 days, with the maximum age for a password being 90 days, after which it must be changed upon login.

Passwords should be unique and not repeated. InvoiceReady will remember up to 24 previously used passwords for a user account and will prevent the repeated use of the same password.

The number of incorrect login attempts is tracked.

In InvoiceReady Cloud environments offered by Basware, a strong password is always mandatory.

 

Password Recovery Tool

Users can change their current password using the password recovery tool. Enter username and receive instructions by e-mail on how to change password.   

User cannot change password with the Forgot your password? function, if:

  • user level of username is Administrator
  • username has been locked or removed 
  • no e-mail address has been saved for username, or 
  • less than 15 minutes has passed since the last password change request 

If the password has been entered incorrectly 2 times, it recommended that  the user reset the password as the third failed login attempt will cause the user account to become locked, requiring a main user or administrator to unlock the account.

 

User account Locked

A locked user account cannot log in to the application until a Main user or administrator, who has rights to the user management tool, has unlocked the user account. If your user account has become locked, contact your organization's Main user to request the unlocking of your user account and to have the password renewed if necessary.

Note that the number of failed login attempts is only reset upon a successful login using the new password.

 

Domain Login 

If the Domain Logon is activated, the user account in the application must correspond to the user account with which the user logs on to the domain with which the InvoiceReady server is associated with. Checking the domain means that the application does not ask the user for a username and password, but the login occurs automatically with the domain user’s name and password.

Domain login is only available for InvoiceReady OnPremise customers.

 

SSO Login 

If the SSO Logon is activated, the username in the application must correspond to the username in customer AD. An organization-specific URL is used for SSO login, which must contain the correct tenant ID code. If you are unsure if you have the correct URL, please contact your main user / administrator.

When using SSO it is possible to leverage extended security features as part of domain authentication, such as Multi Factor Authentication (MFA).

When using the Basware Cloud based InvoiceReady service, an organization must request an SSO implementation from Basware to begin using this feature.
