Change default security key
« on: November 20, 2014, 02:30:04 am »
Hi,

To enable the security on a project, a key provided by sparx must be entered (format : GUID).
To prevent a user that knows this key value for all EA project, I guess we can update this key in the project's DB? In such case, any hint on where it's stored to update it?

thanks
Guillaume

I guess not. That key is provided by Sparx together with the license. Maybe you can ask their support to provide another key. Anyway this security is not a security but in the best case a "accidental deletion prevention". Anyone can access he DB and change the security with a simple SQL.

Guillaume,

The key is the same for everyone. It can be found on the registered section of the website:

Why not simply revoke the privilege

[highlight]Security - Enable/Disable[/highlight]

In the Manage Users settings for all Groups / Users except the Adminstrator?

Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

Phil,
I imagine that would work for Disable, but for Enable I have my doubts.
(kind of a catch22 thing)

Reminds me of a safe with a very complex mechanism (that security key) and a piece of paper with opening instructions under the doormat in front (UPDATE t_...).
