Maximum Password Length

  • (This setting was added in OpenEMR version 6.0.0-(patch-2))
  • Maximum length of password (Recommend using the default value of 72 unless you know what you are doing).
  • The maximum characters used in BCRYPT hash algorithm is 72 (the additional characters are simply truncated, so does not break things, but it does give the erroneous impression that they are used to create the hash; for example, if I created a password with 100 characters, then only the first 72 characters would be needed when authenticate), which is why the 'Maximum Password Length' global setting is set to this number in default installations. Recommend only changing the 'Maximum Password Length' global setting if know what you are doing (for example, if using argon hashing and wish to allow larger passwords).

Require Unique Passwords

Enable Lab Exchange

  • This setting was removed in OpenEMR 4.2.2
  • Setting to turn on/off the Lab Exchange module. As of 09/19/2011, the way to sign up for this module was described as:
  • "The Lab Results does not require an interface to an outside lab, that just makes it easier to "incorporate' results. Medical Information Integration, LLC results interface is to LabCorp. The cost to support Results-Only LEN is $25/m per facility. However, you have to be approved by LabCorp before they will allow it. We are working a Orders+Results interface with LabCorp and Quest right now ($50/m) and we have a Results interface with Soltas Labs. All of those require the Lab itself to approve access. Nothing I can do about that, the labs have complete control."
