The system supports two types of authentication. The first is data based, and the second is LDAP based. The data-based authentication validates the user and login using tables with the system. LDAP-based authentication validates the user on outside LDAP implementation. For further information, please see the Technical Guide.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Password
|
Enter your password in this field. If authentication is data-based, your initial password is your
Government ID (as set up in the Basic Information tab of the Employee Information screen) with any dashes. This typically is your social security number. The password policies for the system are configurable. In general, data-based authentication passwords have the following attributes:
- Not displayed as typed
- Encrypted (stored and communicated)
- Configurable minimum length (1 to 20)
- Maximum length (20)
- Case sensitive
- Configurable expiration (0, 30, 60, 90, 180, or 360 days)
- Can be configured to require at least one special character (!, @, #, $, etc.)
- Can be configured to require at least one numeric character (1, 2, 3, etc.)
- Can be configured to prohibit reuse of old passwords
- Can be configured to require a mix of uppercase and lowercase characters
The browser does not remember passwords.
With data-based authentication, if your administrator used dashes in the
Government ID field in the Employee Information screen, you must enter the dashes when you initially log on to the system.

| Forgot/Reset Password
|
Click this link if you can’t remember your password. The Password Self Reset displays, where you must provide your Login ID and Domain. You then must correctly answer a pre-established security question. If this information passes validation, a temporary password is sent to your e-mail account, or if your e-mail address is not available in Time & Expense, your password is reset to your Government ID. If you do not know your Government ID, contact your system administrator. In either case, you will be required to change your temporary password after you log on.
|
| Domain
|
Depending on your configuration, this field may not be displayed. If it is displayed, you can specify which system you want to use. Domains represent different data sets. A domain can represent a different company or different data sets such as Production, Test, or Training. Domains have the following attributes:
- Must be between 1 and 30 positions
- Not case sensitive
Note: If your browser allows "cookies," the last Domain entered on your computer will be defaulted.
|
| Language
|
This field displays only if more than one language choice is available. Select your preferred language and locale from this drop-down list. When you change the locale, the language for field labels on the login screen change to match the locale you selected. Choices include the following:
- Deutsch/Deutschland
- English/Australia
- English/United Kingdom
- English/United States
- Espanol/Espana
- Espanol/Estados Unidos
- Le Francais/La France
- Nederlands/Nederland
Note: If you select a Language/Locale that is not configured for your chosen domain, an error message displays, alerting you that the language is unavailable. The Login screen defaults to "English/United States."
If your browser allows cookies, Deltek Time and Expense with Employee Self Service remembers your language/locale preference. Otherwise, English is the default language.

| Change Password After Login
|
If you select this check box, the system displays a change password dialog after successful login. You must verify the new password by entering it twice. The password must conform to the password policies as configured in the Password Settings group box in the General Options tab of the General Configuration screen.
This option will launch the change password dialog only if you are using data-based authentication.
Note: If you are logging in to a new system where no information is set up, the valid login information is as follows:
- Login ID: "install"
- Password: "password"
- Domain: Depends on what name was assigned during installation.
|
| Login
|
After you have filled in the
Login ID,
Password, and
Domain fields, select this icon to submit login information. If any of the information is invalid, the system will display an error dialog. If your system uses data-based authentication and you are logging in for the first time, you must change your password or you will be taken to your default screen as defined in your preferences.
You can configure the number of invalid login attempts before the Login ID is disabled in the General Options tab of the General Configuration screen. The valid values are 3, 4, or 5.
Note: If you have logged in using either your government ID or if your password is set to expire, you may be required to reset your password, and the Reset Password screen displays.
