Release Notes 11/13
NEWNew Deployed New Amazon Cognito Identity Server to Manage User Login and Session Information
How does this impact users?
All Scorecard and Compyle users have been automatically logged out and will need to reset their password to log back in.
Resetting Password:
As part of the change, all user passwords are expired. The first time a user logs in after Nov. 13, 2024, the user will see an invalid user password message and will need to click the “Forgot your password” link.
That reset link will go to the email address for their account, but the link will only be valid for one hour after the new password is requested.
Email Verification:
The link to reset the password is sent to the email that matches the username in Control, Scorecard, and Compyle. Only users with a valid email address will be able to use the link to set their password and login.
Users will need to make sure that their email provider will allow them to receive messages from noreply@clearimpact.com.
What if users have problems logging back in?
The Clear Impact Support Team will be available to assist any users that need additional help resetting their password and logging into Clear Impact.
FIXESUser Session Timeout:
A user session timeout has been applied to Scorecard, Compyle and Control and is set to log users out after 120 minutes of inactivity.
*Please note that we did receive a report of an internal user being logged out every two hours even though they were actively working in the system. We are currently troubleshooting this to ensure the session timeout is based on user inactivity.
How does this impact Administrators?
Because of security measures within Amazon Cognito, Control Administrators will no longer be able to reset user passwords for the user. Administrators will want to direct users to utilize the "Forgot you password" link to reset their password. If they continue to have issues logging in then they will need to contact support@clearimpact.com for troubleshooting assistance.
