When the user first logs in using their user name and password, the login mechanism validates the login credentials. If the system is within the license limit, the user can successfully log in, otherwise the login attempt fails and the user remains in the Never Authorized state. Periodically, the Authorization Audit Service job runs to check usage conforms to the license limit. The period at which the Authorization Audit Service job runs is set to default values in repository.properties as follows:
# Configuration of the Authorization Audit trigger
# By default every second day of the week at 03:00
authorization.audit.day=2
authorization.audit.hour=3
authorization.audit.minute=0
These properties can be overridden in SkyVault-global.properties.
