When the list is restricted to a single language, the button in is not shown in the Login dialog, and the Web App Locale is set to the single available language.
A warning message is shown when a desktop [11] user tries to open the same Web App type a second time in the same browser instance. In rare occasions, for instance, due to network connectivity issues, this statement might be false. In that case a Login will bring you back on track.
When a user opens a second Web App session of another type this message is shown:
In both situations, either go back to the active Web App session or press to login to the intended Web App type. This will invalidate any other SavaPage session in the same browser instance.
When an unknown card is swiped, and Card Self Association is enabled, the user is presented this dialog to associate the new card.
There is a time limit to enter the Username and Password. The remaining
seconds are shown and when counted down to zero the dialog is automatically
closed. The time limit (seconds) is contained in configuration key
webapp.card-assoc.dialog-max-secs. See Section 4.11.14, “Config Editor” on how to change
this value.
If a user enabled 2-Step Verification, they are prompted to enter their verification code, after a successful first login step.
