Deleting logon history from the logon dialog box in Security Center - Security Center 5.9 - 5.13

If the Config Tool and Security Desk Logon dialog box have incorrect options or lists users who are no longer required, you can delete the history of usernames and servers.

1. Sign out and close all Security Center client applications.
2. In Windows explorer, go to the following folder: C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\Genetec Security Center 5.x.
   Tip: The AppData folder is hidden by default. To show the folder, do the following:

   1. In Windows Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization > File Explorer Options.
   2. In the File Explorer Options dialog box, click the View tab.
   3. In the Hidden files and folders option, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
   4. Click Apply > OK.
3. In Notepad, open the LoginOptionsExtension.xml file.
4. In the <DatastoreHistory> and <UsernameHistory> sections of code, delete the <string> lines.
   Code

   <DatastoreHistory>
       <string>SERVER_NAME_1</string>
       <string>SERVER_NAME_2</string>
     </DatastoreHistory>
     <UsernameHistory>
       <string>Operator_2</string>
       <string>administrator</string>
       <string>Investigator</string>
     </UsernameHistory>

   
5. Save the LoginOptionsExtension.xml file.
6. To stop saving username and server history on this workstation, do the following:
   1. In Windows explorer, go to the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Security Center 5.x\ConfigurationFiles.
   2. In Notepad, open the Lnk.Security.config file.
   3. In the following line of code, change the EnableUsernamesHistory and EnableServersHistory options to False.
      The original line of code:

      Code

      <Security EnableUsernamesHistory="True" EnableServersHistory="True" TilepluginsSecurity="Demand" AllowPINValuesInReports=”False”/>

      

      After the changes:

      Code

      <Security EnableUsernamesHistory="False" EnableServersHistory="False" TilepluginsSecurity="Demand" AllowPINValuesInReports=”False”/>

      
   4. Save the Lnk.Security.config file.
