OpenManage Enterprise 4.1.x User's Guide

Configure network settings

Set session inactivity timeouts, time configuration, and network proxy information.

1. To view the current network settings of the active network connections on the appliance such as DNS domain name, FQDN, IPv4, and IPv6 settings, expand Current Settings.
2. To configure the session timeouts and the maximum number of sessions for the OpenManage Enterprise API and web interface users, expand Session Inactivity Timeout Configuration and do the following:
   1. Select the Enable check box to activate the Universal Timeout and enter the Inactivity timeout value. Set the Inactivity timeout value between 1 minute to 1440 minutes (24 hours). By default, the Universal timeout is disabled. Enabling the Universal timeout disables the API and Web Interface fields.
   2. Change the API Inactivity timeout (1-1440) and the Maximum number of sessions (1-100) values. These attributes are by default set as 30 minutes and 100 respectively.
   3. Change the Web Interface Inactivity timeout (1-1440) and the Maximum number of sessions (1-100) values. These attributes are by default set as 30 minutes and 100 respectively.
   4. Click Apply to save the settings or click Discard to retain the default values.
   The current system time and the source—local time zone or NTP server IP are displayed.
3. Configure the system time zone, date, time, and NTP server updates by expanding Time Configuration.
   1. Select the time zone from the drop-down list.
   2. Enter the date or click the Calendar icon to select the date.
   3. Enter the time in hh:mm:ss format.
   4. To synchronize with an NTP server, select the Use NTP check box, and enter the server address of the primary NTP server.
      You can configure up to three NTP servers in OpenManage Enterprise.

      NOTE:The Date and Time options are not available when you select Use NTP.
   5. Click Apply.
   6. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
4. Configure the OpenManage Enterprise proxy settings by expanding Proxy Configuration.
   1. Select the Enable HTTP Proxy Settings check box to configure the HTTP proxy, and then enter HTTP proxy address and HTTP port number.
   2. Select the Enable Proxy Authentication check box to enable proxy credentials, and then enter the username and password.
   3. Select the Ignore Certificate Validation check box if the configured proxy intercepts SSL traffic and does not use a trusted third-party certificate. Using this option will ignore the built-in certificate checks used for the warranty and catalog updates.
   4. In the Proxy Exclusion List box, enter the IPv4, IPv6 addresses or the domain names of devices that can bypass the proxy server to directly access the appliance.
   5. Click Apply.
   6. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
