Setting Up E-mail Notifications
Based on Security Control settings, the system can automatically send e‑mail to users in the following security-related situations:
• When a user’s consecutive number of failed login attempts exceeds the number specified in Security Control, the system generates and sends e-mails to members of an administrator role. The e-mail text is similar to the following:
The purpose of this email is to inform you that a user has been disabled for exceeding the maximum logon failures allowed as setup in Security Control. You have been included in this email distribution because you belong to the Administrator role identified in Security Control.
User ID disabled for exceeding max logon failures allowed: User ID

• When Password Creation Method is set to E-mail in the Password frame of Security Control, the system generates a new password and e-mails it to the user based on the e-mail address specified in User Maintenance. This occurs for new and existing users when the Update Password check box is selected in User Maintenance. The e-mail text is similar to the following:
The purpose of this e-mail is to inform you of your new temporary application password. You have been sent this e-mail because Security Control has been set up to e-mail autogenerated temporary passwords.
Your temporary application password is: password.
You will be forced to change this password at next logon.

• When any field or check box is updated in Security Control, the system generates and sends e-mails to members of the administrator role. The e-mail text is similar to the following:
The Security Control menu program has been used to change the security configuration of QAD. Please review this information carefully to ensure that these changes will not compromise the system security. You have received this email because you are an Administrator identified in Security Control for QAD.
