   Segregation of Duties Concepts

By Alex Rippingale  
Size: 1122 KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:1/4/2022
Segregation of Duties (SoD) means that no individual should have access to execute transactions across your business without appropriate controls in place. Whether you are implementing JDE Security yourself, or you are using a third-party toolset such as ALLOut Security to assist you, it is important to have a fundamental understanding of SoD rules. This article is an easy-to-read summary of SoD and introduces you to some very important industry best practices in conjunction with critical E1 processes.  

  Designing Process Driven Security, OR...What Happens When Sue Goes on Vacation?

By Beth Outtrim  
Size: 596, Version:1, Publication Date:10/5/2021
In JDE, users can now have up to 30 Roles. In this article, Beth discusses how to use these to design security roles based around an employee's most basic job functions. This will allow an organization to respond quickly to personnel changes for things such as vacations or illness, or organizational changes for promotions, etc., without upsetting the normal daily office routine and also adhering to Segregation of Duties and other audit requirements.  

  Configuring SSL for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne

By Carlos Sebaaly  
Size: 1.14 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:1/8/2021
Since EnterpriseOne has shifted to a pure internet architecture, HTTP protocol has become the sole means of access to applications for end users. E1 became accessible through any certified version of the different browsers available in the market. This allowed for a simpler and broader exposure to users across dispersed locations via networks or internet. We explain the process of securing this protocol by enabling SSL (Secure Socket Layer) over HTTP so administrators can ensure that access to the JDE E1 web server is authentic and encrypted via HTTPS instead of HTTP. The steps provided are based on Oracle WebLogic Server versions 11g and 12c on Microsoft Windows.  

  Compliance Reporting on JDE E1 Security - What is Available and Where to Start

By Alex Rippingdale  
Size: 1.01 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:1/7/2020
Most organizations realize the importance of securing their data and access to that data. In addition, regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley in the US have increased the need for, awareness of, and thoroughness of security reporting requirements. However, security setup in JDE E1 is the key, and can be an onerous and complex task. In this article, Alex Rippingale from ALLOut Security breaks down the issue of compliance reporting into four key areas (User Security Access, Data Access, Segregation of Duties, and Access Auditing) and explains how to best address the setup for each area.  

  Implementing ’Deny All’ Using Existing Roles

By JDEtips, Inc.  
Size: 692 KB, Version:1, Publication Date:7/9/2019
Many years ago, the trend in JDE security was to implement an Open Security model. Over time, requirements have changed and many companies are moving to a Closed model. This move, however, is not simple. This article from ALLOut Security describes industry best practice for moving from an Open to a Closed model.  

   A Journey of Implementing Roles--Role Implementation Tool Kit

By JDEtips, Inc.  
Size: 1.02 MB, Version:1, Publication Date:7/12/2018

  JDE Self Service Password Reset

By John Gersic  
Size: 1 mb, Version:1, Publication Date:10/28/2010
Here is a tip that's long been on our requested list. If you're a JDE administrator, chances are you've been diverted more than once (a day) from whatever you're working on to reset a password. The more frequent the requests, the more time consuming it becomes for both you and your users--and we know you both have much more important things to do. Surely, there's a way to allow users to reset their own passwords. Yes, but stop calling me Shirley. In this article, John Gersic details just such a solution, source code included. Can we all say "Hooray!"

In this white paper, Andy Vanspranghe discusses the security benefits vs. the system performance gotchas associated with row security in EnterpriseOne.  

  Changes in the JDE Security Model to Support Sarbanes Oxley

By Bill Loban  
Size: 417KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:8/24/2007
Who's been making changes to your database? If your company uses a proxy user; i.e., "sign-on security", your audit trail will show one user only for all changes made. That's not exactly what the auditors are looking for when they ask to see which individual users made which changes. So how do you get around this issue? Bill Loban provides the steps you'll need to make to the JD Edwards security model in order to reflect individual users (and keep those auditors happy!)

  Passing a Sarbanes-Oxley Audit - Menu Security vs Deny ALL Security

By Michael Moorman  
Size: 532KB, Version:1.0, Publication Date:1/19/2006
We all know that when our software offers us flexibility, it also forces us to make many decisions. Some must be based on practicality, some are cost-based, and some are purely technical. Now we are faced with an entire new level of decision-making based on regulatory requirements; most specifically in this case, the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Michael Moorman demonstrates the primary differences between Menu Security and Deny *All Security, and shows us how and why the latter is going to get you a lot farther with your SOX audit.
