Protecting Your ERP Data: Best Practices for ERP Authentication and SQL Password Encryption

Updated: Jun 29, 2023

When it comes to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems like Microsoft Dynamics GP, security is of the utmost importance. Financial data is often sensitive and must be kept safe from unauthorized access. That's why at Cloud Guru IT, we prioritize protecting our clients' ERP data with industry-standard security measures.


One critical aspect of securing an ERP system like Dynamics GP is the authentication process. Our GP authentication requirements follow network guidelines to ensure secure access. Newly added users are assigned temporary passwords, which must be changed upon first login. These passwords are encrypted and inaccessible even to the system administrator.


At the time of logging in, users must select a company to access. This adds an additional layer of security to prevent unauthorized users from accessing financial data.


But the authentication process is only the beginning of securing an ERP system. SQL Server password encryption is also crucial to prevent external access to financial data. Our team at Cloud Guru IT ensures that all user passwords are encrypted, making it impossible for external tools to access the SQL Server.


Encryption of passwords means that users must access data through the Microsoft Dynamics GP application, which has its own security system. This ensures that all users are subject to the application's security protocols and cannot bypass it.


Additionally, user passwords in our system expire and follow the Windows Server domain password policy. This policy ensures that passwords are regularly updated, preventing potential breaches due to weak or outdated passwords.


At Cloud Guru IT, we understand the importance of securing financial data in ERP systems like Dynamics GP. By implementing best practices for GP authentication and SQL password encryption, we can give our clients peace of mind that their data is safe and secure.
