User Login page

User login page

This page that allows you to authenticate in MIB with your credentials before entering in the system.
You will be requested to type the username and password fields; If the login and password match, the login will be successful and you will be logged and go to your MIB home page. The login request are sent in a secure way, through POST and HTTPs, hiding the user login and password from a third party.

There is also a Keep me logged in checkbox to allow the browser to remember the token and allow you to maintain logged for longer time, until the session expires or you perform logout.

Captcha is requested when the user has typed the password wrong several times

Wrong user/password
When you type a wrong username and/or password, MIB will show an an error alert with a message specifying the source of the error. You will be able to try again in case you made a mistake.


Captcha validation
A Captcha will be shown after several unsuccessful login attempts (up to 5). Then you will have then to fill the captcha field with the correct code or the login will continue failing even if the password is correct. This is done to avoid computer brute force attacks.

Dialog to type a new password when it has expired

Password expiration
Some users might have configured password expiration (see MIB User Management) during user provisioning. In that case, you will be requested to change their password every 60 days.

When your password has expired, you will be prompted upon a correct login request with a dialog to type the new password. Then you will have to provide the old password and the new password twice. If the new passwords mismatch or the old password is wrong, MIB will show an error.

Also, the new password will have to follow a determined regex patter (which is defined in a configuration file). Currently, the password must be at least 8 chars long and must contain at least one capital letter, one number and one special character.

Forgot your password?

Forgot my password
In case you have forgotten your password, there is a password retrieval option in the login page, that will allow you to request a recovery email containing a secure link to generate a new password for you.

To do this, you will have to type in the same email that is associated to your account and press Send recovery email button. Then a new [File:PasswordRecoveryEmailSent.png|menu] will be shown asking you to type the same email that was associated to his account and a password retrieval email will be sent.

In the password retrieval email, you will get a link that will take him to a password recovery page where will be able to type in a new password. Once the password has been typed correctly (twice), your password will be changed to this new password provided.
