NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role and scope-

1. To only view the current network settings of all the active network connections of OpenManage Enterprise such as DNS
domain name, FQDN, and 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:
a. Select the Enable check box to activate the Universal Timeout and enter the Inactivity timeout (1-1440) value.
Inactivity timeout value can be set between 1 minute to 1440 minutes (24 hours). By default the Universal timeout is
grayed out. Enabling the Universal timeout disables the API and Web Interface fields.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Click Apply to save the settings or click Discard to retain the default values.
3. The current system time and the source—local time zone or NTP server IP are displayed. To configure the system time
zone, date, time, and NTP server synchronization, expand Time Configuration.
a. Select the time zone from the drop-down list.
b. Enter the date or click the Calendar icon to select the date.
c. Enter the time in hh:mm:ss format.
d. 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 the Use NTP option is selected.

f. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.
4. To configure the OpenManage Enterprise proxy settings, expand Proxy Configuration.
a. Select the Enable HTTP Proxy Settings check box to configure the HTTP proxy, and then enter HTTP proxy address
and HTTP port number.
b. Select the Enable Proxy Authentication check box to enable proxy credentials, and then enter the username and
password.
c. 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 synchronization.
d. Click Apply.
e. To reset the settings to default attributes, click Discard.

Manage OpenManage Enterprise users
NOTE:
● To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have the necessary user privileges. See Role and scope-
based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
● Any change to the user role will not affect the active session of the impacted user(s) and will take effect from
subsequent login.
● If a Device Manager user is demoted to a Viewer, that DM will lose access to all the owned entities such as jobs,
firmware or configuration templates and baselines, alert policies, and profiles. These entities can be managed only by the
administrator and can't be restored even when the same user is 'promoted' from a Viewer to DM.
