NOTE: This function is not applicable to Banner defined repositories.
The security definition file for each repository maps to a particular system on your organization's report-generating application, and provides information to Banner ePrint on system security. This file is the control file for the security loader program, which loads authentication data (user IDs/passwords) and authorization data (value-based security elements) from your report-generating application into the ePrint database.
ePrint's wizard will prompt you for all the necessary information. When completed, the wizard will create the configuration file that is required in order for ePrint to utilize the report-generating application system's security features.
There is only one security definition file per repository, and setting it up accurately is critical to the implementation of ePrint. Ellucian's training will assist you with this setup step. Ongoing maintenance is minimal, and typically will only be required if you add a new repository or new page keys (VBS elements).
From the User Tasks section of the main menu, select Security. The "Basic Security Information" page is displayed; see below.
