Zedmed has advised Pen CS that they have made some changes in Zedmed v29 to improve data security by introducing an Integrator Account. What this means is that the current connections strings Pen CS uses to access the Zedmed database for data collections need to be replaced to use the new Integrator Account.
Pen CS will be making changes in CAT4 and Topbar to enable this change.
What will practices need to do?
- Practices will need to set up their Integrator Password as required by Zedmed.
- Practices will need to update their CAT4 and Topbar configuration settings with the Integrator Password.
In order for CAT4 and Topbar to continue functioning, there is a transition window for practices to update their configuration but they must have updated before they upgrade to Zedmed v30.3.
CAT4 and Topbar will break in Zedmed v30.3 if the configuration has NOT been updated.
Changes to the Pen CS Software:
CAT4:
- CAT4 will provide a field on the Zedmed Preference Screen for entering the Integrator Account password.
Topbar:
- Topbar will provide a field under the Settings menu for entering the Integrator Account password. This only has to be updated once and will apply for all users. An Administrator Topbar user will need to update this.
- A warning will be displayed from Zedmed v29 if this has not been entered.
- An error will be displayed from Zedmed 30.3 if this has not been entered.
Pen CS will be releasing these changes as soon as possible. Release dates will be advised shortly.
