Configuring INUBIT User Accounts

Call Up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings> Administration > User

Option Explanation

Max. number of password failures

Maximum number of failed login attempts. If this number is exceeded, the user is locked for security reasons.

Users having the role System Administrator cannot be locked. This is to ensure that administrative users can always log in. Any administrative user can unlock accounts.

All successful logins and unsuccessful login attempts can be traced in the Audit Log. If SNMP messaging is activated, then, SNMP traps are sent, if user accounts have been locked after too many unsuccessful login attempts.

Refer to Activating the SNMP Alert

Lock inactive user

If activated, users are locked who have not logged in since a specified number of days.

Lock after (in days)

Specification after how many days users are locked.

Delete inactive user

If checked, users who have not logged in since a specified number of days, are deleted.

Delete after (in days)

Specification after how many days users are deleted.

Use initial password

If activated, the same initial password is always used when creating a new user. After logging in for the first time, the user is prompted to change the initial password.

Initial Password

Specification of the initial password.

Restrict password validity

If activated, the validity of a password expires after a specified period of time. After this time has elapsed, users are prompted to change their password at the next login.

Validity (in days)

After how many days passwords expire.

Expanded password control

If activated, a newly assigned password is only accepted if the user has not used it in the last 3 months and the password is different to the last 5 passwords used.

Port filter for SOAP clients

If activated, only clients have access via the port listed in the Ports allowed option.

Ports allowed

Comma-separated list of ports used for clients (e.g. INUBIT Workbenches) to connect to the INUBIT Process Engine.

Allow users to store passwords

When checked, users can let their passwords store when logging in on the INUBIT Workbench and do not need to re-enter them on their next log in.

Use password limit

Activates/deactivates the verification of a new password or one, which must be changed, against the setting in the property Password limit pattern.

Password limit pattern

Used to define a pattern for new passwords, as for example their minimum length or allowed characters.

Invert password limit

Inverts the meaning of the property value Password limit pattern.

Unchecked: A password must comply with the criteria of the property Password limit pattern. All passwords are accepted, which are matching the pattern. All others are rejected.

Checked: The password must not comply with the criteria of the property Password limit pattern. All passwords are accepted, which are not matching the pattern. All others are rejected.

Extended display of user groups

When selected, the user can see all user groups within a common hierarchy in Designer, Module Editor, Repository, and Reporting.

Once this checkbox is selected, the user has to switch to an additional user group to view changes.

This checkbox is only available to users with the role System Administrator.

Activating the Maintenance Mode

You activate the Maintenance mode within

  • the INUBIT Workbench settings and

  • within the <inubit-installdir>/inubit/server/process_engine/bin/setenv.[sh/bat] file on startup only.

You deactivate the Maintenance mode within the INUBIT Workbench settings only.

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Explanation

Maintenance mode for whole Process Engine

In Maintenance mode for whole Process Engine you can, for example, deploy patches or workflows. The modifications take effect, as soon as the maintenance mode is deactivated again. In maintenance mode, the INUBIT Process Engine acts as follows:

  • No more new workflows are started (exception: those started manually in the test mode), because

    • the scheduler do not start new workflows,

    • listeners cannot be accessed externally anymore.

  • Web Services Connectors and the repository return a 503-HTTP-Code.

  • The INUBIT portlets cannot be called anymore.

  • Workflows which are already running are executed until they are finished.

Maintenance mode for whole Process Engine is activated automatically, if your license has expired! After inserting a valid license, you need to deactivate the maintenance mode manually.

In maintenance mode also execute QUEUED processes

By default, only processes in status PROCESSING will be executed. Enable this option to execute processes in status PROCESSING and in status QUEUED. Once all these processes finished execution, the Process Engine can be safely shutdown.

Activate maintenance mode if maximum hard disk was exceeded

If this option is checked, the maintenance mode is activated automatically, if the defined threshold value has exceeded.

Afterwards, a corresponding message can be sent to the INUBIT administrator.

The threshold value is defined in the option Max. hard disk usage in %.

In order to let the hard disk usage monitor, the option Hard disk usage must be activated.

Refer to Hard disk usage

Stop system process if necessary

If activated, INUBIT observes the shutdown phase of the Process Engine of the node and stops the system process if necessary.

setenv.[sh/bat]

  • Set parameter server.maintenance.mode to either true or false. Default value is false. `server.maintenance.mode `parameter value is checked only during startup of the server.

If parameter server.maintenance.mode is not available in `setenv.[sh/bat]`add the parameter manually.

Activating/Deactivating the Maintenance mode in the INUBIT Workbench settings is not changing the parameter value in setenv.[sh/bat] and reverse.

Parameter value set in setenv.[sh/bat] has no impact on ibis.xml.

The server hostname is available as workflow variable ISServerName.

Defining a Password for the Process Engine

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Password for the Process Engine

Password for the INUBIT Process Engine.

Is required for the communication between the portal server or the REST Interface and INUBIT Process Engine.

Defining Working Memory for Workflows

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Available working memory in MB

Available working memory in MB.

Maximum working memory for workflows (in percent)

Maximum available working memory for workflows where the memory utilization has not been specified manually.

For information about how the memory load of a Technical Workflow can be specified manually, refer to Designer: Working with Diagrams, section memory restriction.

Maximum number of files for temporary messages

Set the amount of files for temporary messages (messages from the watch points of Technical Workflows), which will be stored in the global folder <inubit-installdir>\server\ibis_root\ibis_data\binarystores\testwatch\tmp\<thread name>\test, irrespectively of any user or user group. If the amount of files reaches the configured amount, then the oldest files will be deleted from this global folder to create storage space.

Retrieving Status of the INUBIT Process Engine via HTTP

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Status web page

If activated, the status details as, for example, the JVM load, the system load and INUBIT Process Engine configuration settings are displayed at the URL https://<server>:<port>/ibis/servlet/status (see below)

The following information is displayed:

  • Maintenance is true or false (on or off)

    • Possible cause (if maintenance mode is true)

  • Memory usage of the JVM (total, used, and free memory)

  • Memory usage of the system (total, used, and free memory; total, used, and free swap)

  • CPU usage of each node

  • Workflow threads of the INUBIT Process Engine (maximum, running, and waiting workflows)

Configuring XML Schema Cache

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Number of XML Schemas in cache

Caching XML Schemas globally significantly improves the performance when using XML Schemas for example in validate modules or Technical Workflows.

All XML Schemas are loaded into the cache when being used for the first time, get compiled and are then supplied in the cache for a while. There, they are available for the next accesses without the need of being compiled again.

The number of cached XML Schemas depends on the totally available working storage and the complexity of your XML Schemas. You can increase the number, if the XML Schema access seems slow.

Generally, the rule of thumb applies: If you are using many XML Schemas 100 KByte, increase the number; for XML Schemas > 1 MByte the number can be decreased.

The recommended value is 300, the minimum number should not be below 150.

Clear Schema Pool

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Clear schema pool

Clears the XML schemas in the cache.

Setting Multitenancy for Tasks

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

The password must consist of at least 8 and a maximum of 20 characters and contain at least one digit, one capital letter, one lower case letter and one special character.

Ignoring Uninitialized XPath Variable Exception

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Option Description

Ignore uninitialized XPath variable exception

If ticked, the exception will be ignored if an XPath variable is not defined/initialized.

Allow Fallback to an Insecure Connection

If needed, you can configure a fallback to an insecure trust manager and/or a fallback to an insecure hostname verification.

These options are enabled by default for backwards compatibility only. They need to be disabled in a productive environment, or in an environment with internet access.

  • Allow fallback to insecure trust manager

    Applies to all connections using SSL/TLS. Custom trust manager accepts any connection without checking the content and, therefore, it marks any connection as secure.

    • When enabled: secure connections will fall back to an insecure trust manager if no trust store is provided within context. The server/client certificates are validated using the insecure trust manager in addition to JRE’s default TrustManagers for SSL/TLS connections. The insecure trust manager always trusts the certificates.

    • When disabled: JRE’s default TrustManagers are used. If no trust store is provided, secure connections will use trust managers from the JRE’s default factories, which employ the public certificates of root certificate authorities stored in the <JRE_HOME>/lib/security/cacerts file, as well as the security providers' validation implementation.

      This option is always enabled implicitly when used contextually to a Remote Connector.

  • Allow fallback to insecure hostname verification

    Applies to HTTP and LDAP over TLS connections (refer to IETF RFC 2818 and RFC 2830). Custom hostname verifier accepts any hostname and, therefore, it marks any hostname as secure.

    • When enabled: HTTPS/LDAPS connections will employ an insecure hostname identification and verification mechanism.

      This insecure verifier verifies any hostname as a valid hostname.

      This option is always enabled implicitly when used contextually to the Remote Connector.

    • When disabled: HTTPS/LDAPS connections will leverage the JRE’s provided hostname identification and verification mechanism.

Allowed TLS versions in Mail Connector

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Parameter Description

Allowed TLS versions in Mail Connector

Here, you can set the allowed TLS versions in Mail Connector, for instance, version 1 (TLSv1), version 1.1 (TLSv1.1), version 1.2 (TLSv1.2), version 1.3 (TLSv1.3), and so on. By default, versions TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 are selected. If you choose no version, the default will be set internally.

Configuring SFTP Cipher Algorithms

Call up

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Server

Parameter Description

Configure diagrams

In this area you can specify, among other things, a check workflow, a notify workflow and a tag name workflow.

In addition, you can use the Lock diagrams and modules in progress for further editing checkbox to configure whether a diagram/module should be automatically locked when it has been opened for editing.

If this option is activated, diagrams and modules can only be edited by one user at a time. Other users cannot edit these diagrams or modules and an error message will appear.

If necessary, a user with the appropriate rights, e.g. a system administrator, can unlock locked diagrams or modules, see Locking and unlocking diagrams.

To do this, the right Unlock diagrams and modules in progress by user must be set for the relevant user role of which this user is a member via the Administration > User Roles > User Roles folder > [User Role] > User Role Rights > Designer tab.
A system administrator has this right by default.

Define test workflow

You can define a technical workflow that tests diagrams for compliance with certain conditions. In addition, the check workflow is always executed when technical workflows are deployed.

Call

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Diagrams

Option Explanation

Checking workflow

The administration guide 176 0 button opens a wizard for selecting a local or server-based technical workflow.

Set Notify workflow

Call

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Diagrams

Option Explanation

Notify workflow

You can define a technical workflow with which events on all technical and functional diagrams as well as on modules in the INUBIT software are recorded and passed on to an external system as an XML message with the identified changes via a system connector. This allows you, for example, to synchronize data from the INUBIT Process Engine with external data sets.

Before you define a technical workflow as a notify workflow, you must create and activate a technical workflow in the INUBIT software.

The following events trigger the Notify workflow:

  • Rename a workflow in the workbench or module on the server.

  • Creating and publishing a workflow or module.

  • Editing and publishing a workflow or module.

  • Moving a workflow from a user to a user group.

  • Deploy a workflow or module.

Moving a module from a user to a user group or deleting a workflow or module from the server does not trigger the Notify workflow.

The administration guide 176 0 button opens a wizard for selecting the local or server-based technical workflow.

Input message for the Notify workflow

The following XML structure is passed to the Notify workflow after deployment:

Example of Notify workflow

The Notify workflow routes information to an external system determined by a Technical Workflow called TestWorkflow:

administration guide 195 0

  • The Notify workflow receives the input message via the Empty input module mod_EntryPoint with information that a new workflow TestWorkflow has been created in the INUBIT Workbench. The information about the change event is always specified in the operation attribute and in this example uses the create attribute to indicate a newly created workflow (information about modifications to workflows or deletion is provided via the modify or delete addressed):

    administration guide 196 0

  • The XML input message is passed to an XSLT Converter, which reads the version data before and after the change and creates a structure that the subsequent XML Diff module can use to determine the change difference:

    administration guide 197 0

  • The XML Diff utility determines the difference in changes between the extracted data and creates an output XML message that contains all resulting changes for the Create Workflow event in the form of Difference elements of type insert:

    administration guide 198 0

  • This output message is output to a system connector to forward the change information to an external system.

Set tagname workflow

Call

INUBIT Workbench > Administration > General Settings > Administration > Diagrams

Option Explanation

Tagname workflow

You can set up a technical workflow that automatically generates a suggested tag name. The suggestion is displayed when you open the 'Create tag' dialog.

Before you define a technical workflow as a tagname workflow, you must create a corresponding technical workflow that returns a character string or an XML structure. If the tag name workflow returns an XML structure, the entries in the 'Create Tag' dialog can only be selected; entering a different tag name is not possible. The administration guide 176 0 button opens a wizard for selecting the local or server-based technical workflow.

Prefixes for tag names cannot be edited

If this option is enabled in addition to the Tagname Workflow option, then a tag name will be suggested with a prefix that users cannot change. Disable this option to allow users to change the suggested prefix.

In the Module Editor and Repository tabs, only information related to users and user groups can be accessed in the prefix.

Further details about workflows are available in the Designer tab.

Example

The XML structure returned by the tag name workflow must be structured as shown in the following example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tags xmlns:xsi="https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <tag description="Description of Tag A">Tag A</tag>
  <tag description="Description of Tag B" selected="true">Tag B</tag>
  <tag>Tag C</tag>
</tags>
xml

You can use the selected="true" attribute to pre-populate the Tag and Description fields in the Create Tag dialog with the relevant tag.
