Portal > Password Policies
This panel lets you configure password policies for your installation. It includes options that
configure whether and when change to passwords must occur, syntax checking, history, expiration,
and lockout policies for failed logins.
NOTE:
For users of Multitenant sites, logins require the prepended site prefix. For example, an admin user in
customer site with prefix BP, logs in as BP-admin.
You can also generate a User Login Report/Last 30 Days to view the history of logins.
Portal > Portal Settings
The Settings screens are where users who are administrators can configure the most basic global
settings for OpenManage Network Manager, including names, authentication, default user
associations, and mail host names. These include the following:
• Users — Among other things
Default User Associations configures Site and Role defaults for
users. Remember, you can remove the Power User default here, but removing the User role
does not work. You have to change permissions for User because every user gets that Role.
• Mail Host Name(s) — These are for user account notifications, not mail hosts for
OpenManage Network Manager event-based notifications configured in Event Processing
Rules, for example (see
Automation and Event Processing Rules on page 297). Configure
such notifications as described in
SMTP Configuration on page 54.
• Email notifications, who sends them, what the contents are for account creation notices, or
password change/reset notices.
• Identification, including address, phone, email and web sites.
• The default landing page, and display settings like the site logo.
• Google Apps login/password.
CAUTION:
Checking Allow Strangers to create accounts may produce a defective login screen. Do not do it.
