Server Preferences | Administrator | Administrator |
Session Timeout (minutes) | Allows Server Administrator to time out if there is no user input for a specified number of minutes. Users whose sessions time out must log in again to continue. Selecting Disable does not set a limit on the amount of time Server Administrator can remain open without terminating. |
HTTPS Port | The number of the secure port that you want Server Administrator to use. The default port for Server Administrator is 1311. |
IP Address to Bind to |
By default the Web server listens to incoming browser requests on
all IP addresses. However, for increased security you can specify a
single IP address or, all IP addresses. An administrator can specify a
loopback adapter address--an IP address to ensure that data sent out is
delivered back to the source (without going across the network). For
example, specifying 127.0.0.1 for IPv4 and
::1 or 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 or 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001 for IPv6 disables
remote login for Server Administrator and ensures that it is accessed
from the local workstation only.
NOTE: Link local
address will not be populated in the drop-down list.
|
SMTP Server Name (or IP Address) | Name of your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server. For example, smtp1.us.companyname.com. You can provide SMTP server name in the following forms: IPv4 or IPv6 or server name. |
DNS Suffix for SMTP Server | The domain name system (DNS) suffix of your mail server, where smtp1.us.companyname.com is the mail server, and the DNS suffix is us.companyname.com. |
Command Log Size |
Specifies the maximum command log file size in MB. You can find the
command log in its default directory under the filename omcmdlog.xml.
NOTE: When you log in to
manage Server Administrator Web server, the command log size will be
displayed under Preferences->Web Server->
Properties. When you log in to manage a remote
system, the command log size will be displayed under
Preferences-> Node Configuration.
NOTE: The command log size cannot be
configured on systems running the VMware ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 operating
systems. A maximum default command log file size of 1 MB is supported
on ESXi 3.5, while on ESXi 4.0 Server Administrator supports a default
command log size of 128 KB.
|
Support Link | The URL for the business entity that supports your server. |
Custom Delimiter |
Specifies the character used to separate the data fields in the
files created using the Export button. The
; character is the default delimiter. Other
options are !, ,,
@, #, $, ^, *, ~, ?
, and |.
NOTE: The '%' and ':' delimiters are not supported in
Server Administrator. If you have selected these delimiters in the
earlier versions of Server Administrator, select a valid delimiter from
the Custom Delimiter list for this version.
|
SSL Encryption | Allows the Administrator or the Power User to set the encryption levels for sessions between a web browser and the Server Administrator web server. Select Auto Negotiate for auto selection of encryption level based on web browser settings. Select 128-bit or higher for 128 bit or higher encryption levels. NOTE: Change of encryption level requires restart of the Server Administrator web server. |
Key Signing Algorithm (For Self Signed Certificate): |
Displays the supported signing algorithms. Select an algorithm from
the drop down list.
NOTE: If you
select either SHA 512 or SHA 256, ensure that your operating
system/browser supports this algorithm. If you select one of these
options without the requisite operating system/browser support, server
administrator displays a "cannot display the webpage"
error.
NOTE: This field is
meant only for Server Administrator auto-generated self-signed
certificates. The drop down list will be grayed out if you import or
generate new certificates into Server Administrator.
