OpenManage Enterprise 4.1.x User's Guide

The Welcome to OpenManage Enterprise dialog

If you are logging in to OpenManage Enterprise for the first time, the Welcome to OpenManage Enterprise dialog is displayed. Use this dialog to set your time (either manually or using NTP time synchronization) and proxy configurations.

1. To configure the time manually, in the Time Configuration section:
   • Use the Time zone drop-down menu to select an appropriate time zone.
   • In the Date box, enter or select a date.
   • In the Time box, fill the time.
   • Click Apply to save the settings.
2. If you want to use the NTP Server for time synchronization, do the following in the Time Configuration section:
   NOTE:When the NTP Server settings are updated, the logged in users are automatically logged out from their OpenManage Enterprise sessions.

   • Select the Use NTP check box.
   • Enter the IP address or hostname in Primary NTP Server Address and Secondary NTP Server Address (optional) for time synchronization.
3. If you want to set a proxy server for external communication, In the Proxy Configuration section:
   • Select the Enable HTTP Proxy Settings check box.
   • Enter the Proxy Address.
   • Enter the Port number for the proxy server.
   • If the proxy server requires credentials to log in, select the Enable Proxy Authentication check box and enter the username and password.
   • 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 ignores the system-defined certificate checks used for the warranty and catalog synchronization.
   • Enter IPv4, IPv6 addresses, or domain names of devices exempt from the proxy server in the Proxy Exclusion list field.
4. Click Apply to save the settings.
