Configuring Administrator Startup and Idle Options
This section describes how a system administrator can enable particular startup and idle options for the client.
Enabling users to change password at first login
By default, this option is disabled. To enable users to change their password when they log in for the first time:
1.
Open the
NmsProcessesBE.conf
file located in the
<Web NMS Home>/conf
directory.
<Web NMS Home>
is the IP address where the NMS server is running.
2.
Find the process for
com.adventnet.nms.security.authorization.NmsAuthManager
in the
conf
file.
3.
In the command[...
change_password_for_firsttime_login false
...], replace
false
with
true
.
4.
Save the
conf
file.
Enabling the lockout function when the client is idle
If the client is idle for a certain amount of time, you can enable the client to require a user ID and password to
unlock the screen. By default, the lock screen function is disabled. To enable it:
1.
Open the
clientparameters.conf
file located in the
<Web NMS Home>/conf
directory.
<Web NMS Home>
is the IP address where the NMS server is running.
2.
Find the command [
ALLOWED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_LOCKOUT
=”
0
”
] and replace
0
with
the number of
minutes
the client is allowed to be idle before the system locks user access.
3.
In case of Applet and Web Start Clients, you will also need to edit the
java.policy
file present in
<Web
NMS Home>/jre/lib/security
directory and include the following line for the function to work correctly:
permission java.awt.AWTPermission
"listenToAllAWTEvents";
4.
Save the files.
Enabling the terminate function when the client is idle
If the client is idle for a certain amount of time, you can enable the client to shut down. By default, the termi-
nate function is disabled. To enable it:
1.
Open the
clientparameters.conf
file located in the
<Web NMS Home>/conf
directory.
<Web NMS Home>
is the IP address where the NMS server is running.
2.
Find the command [
ALLOWED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_TERMINATION
=”
0
”
] and replace
0
with
the number
of minutes
the client is allowed to be idle before the system shuts down.
3.
Save the
conf
file.
