The PACS Server

Security Settings

The security settings give administrators the ability to secure network traffic between a user and the server, terminate inactive user sessions and define minimum password strength. Since encrypted communications can negatively impact network performance, the Secure Connection setting does not control the security of the DICOM communications. Secure DICOM is configured through the definition of the DICOM TLS port and protocol in the Devices table.

See: DICOM Server

The password strength requirements force users to define strong passwords. Passwords that fail to meet these requirements cannot be saved.  

 To set the security settings:

  1. Go to the Admin/Server Settings tab
  2. Select Security Settings
  3. Set the parameters
  4. Select the Save icon
