Assumptions
The User has sufficient security level to access the Paradigm System menu
The User understands the implications of securely handling government credentials
The User knows the difference between their eCAF API credentials and their HEIMS Web Service credentials
Key terms and concepts
The HEIMS login integration allows Paradigm to integrate with the relevant government systems on behalf of a provider to perform tasks such as allocating or retrieving a CHESSN, or querying the current loan balance of a given student.
To maintain a high level of security HEIMS requires the password to be updated every 28 days and it expires after 28 days. We recommend that you set a recurring reminder to reset the password every 28 days, using your preferred calendar application. This will help to ensure that the password does not expire.
It is important to recognise that the eCAF credential is not related to a HEIMS Web Service credential. Even if the username is the same, the two systems are distinct and not connected. The only point of similarity between the eCAF and HEIMS Web Service systems are that they are supported from the same government help-desk.
HEIMS Fields

Be AdvisedEach provider is required to update their HEIMS password at least every 28 days. Failure to update a password within this time-frame will result in the expiry of that credential. To test if an account is active attempt to log into the following website: https://app.heims.education.gov.au/HeimsOnline/MyAccount.aspx |

NoteWe recommend that you set a recurring reminder to reset the password every 24 days, using your preferred calendar application. This will assist you to avoid interruptions to service that arise when a credential is expired by the government due to the 28 day condition. |

...
A minimum of 8 characters
At least one numeric character
At least one special character
