Security Management

Ensure that the operating system and the required software (refer to System Requirements for more details) are updated with the latest patches to prevent vulnerabilities and other security issues.

Login History

  • When you log into a database, Data Studio displays a pop-up with details of the last successful login and failure attempts between the last two successful logins for you on the logged database.

If the pop-up displays the message "Last login details not available", then it implies that the connected database does not support the last login display feature.

Password Expiry Notification

  • Your password will expire within 7 days from the date of notification. If the password expires, contact the database administrator to reset the password.
  • The password must be changed every 90 days.
