Setting up the Security Policy
About this task
It is possible to store Source Code Management user credentials in either Talend Administration Center or Talend Studio. Also, the session expiration time can be set so that the user can be logged out from Talend Administration Center automatically after that time. A user with Security Administrator role can set these options in the Security Policy group on the Configuration page.
Note that it is recommended not to store passwords in the Talend Administration Center database but use LDAP or SSO
providers for user management as a security best practice. To do so, you need to use
LDAP or an Identity Provider for both Talend Administration Center and other third-party tools, for example, SVN/GIT. For more
information, see the following topics:
- Enabling SSO
- Setting up an LDAP(S) protocol
- Mappings between LDAP and Talend Administration Center on Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
- Managing encryption of SVN passwords in LDAP for Talend Administration Center on Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
If you do not have access to LDAP/SSO, make sure that the security policy configuration meets your security requirements.
