Implement 64 character background password for scheduling jobs 8.0 PR2
Administrators who use remote login authentication and schedule jobs to run
while they are logged out, could cause jobs to fail if they change their LDAP PW
after logout.
Currently, certain customers have separate external authentication passwords assigned to
QIP administrators which are stored externally from the QIP database. If a QIP normal
administrator logs into QIP and schedules a job to run at a future date/time, then when the
job runs within QIP, the username and password will come from the QIP database, and
authentication of the scheduled job will fail since the QIP admin password from the
database does not match the external authentication password.
This feature will allow for a separate internal 64 character password for every defined QIP
administrator to be used specifically for job scheduling.
• Create 64 character password when a new user is created
• Check at logon if an existing user has a 64 character password. if not one will
be automatically created

Unrestricted Virtualisation
When deploying an Alcatel-Lucent virtual appliance the resources
you provide to the virtual host are limited only by the resources
available to the host, we do not artificially lock down virtual
resources
When deploying a software appliance on your physical
hardware, the choice of hardware is your own, only x64
Red Hat compatibility is a requirement
We provide a single unlimited/unlocked ISO image, we do not
artificially limit the performance of our virtual appliances
unlike our competitors virtualised solutions which are limited to
specific hardware resources per image and rate limited to
specific performance levels
Virtualised or Software appliances from Alcatel-Lucent are not performance/resource restricted
