Configuring General System Settings

Sets Avalanche so that profiles cannot be applied at the My Enterprise level. This option is only available to administrator users.

Logs the user out after the set number of minutes of inactivity. This option is only available to administrator users.

Sets how often the page refreshes. This option is only available to administrator users.

Number of days an alert is displayed in the Current Alerts panel.

The number of alerts to display.

Maximum number of alerts to store. Alerts are stored in the database on the Enterprise Server. This option is only available for administrative users.

Provide settings for an email server so that Avalanche can send email when alerts are generated. Provide the address of the email server, a username and password to access it, and the port it listens on. If desired, you can specify a reply-to address or an address that the message will be sent from.

Enables Edit Lock to prevent conflicts between users who modify the same item at the same time. If a user is editing an item (such as a profile), he has a limited amount of time to make and save his changes before the edit lock times out. When the edit lock times out, a prompt will appear asking if he wants to extend the edit lock. If he does not respond to the prompt, the Edit Lock will be canceled, changes will not be saved, and other users will be able to edit the item.

Sets the amount of time the user has before the Edit Lock prompt appears.

Sets the amount of time between when the prompt appears and when the edit lock is canceled.

If you want to configure the maximum threshold for enterprise server messages allowed in the backlog, type the number of messages in the text box under Message backlog. If the spillover threshold is reached, the device servers are throttled and further messages are stored in a file to disk until the backlog is reduced. When device servers are throttled, they will no longer send device statistics updates to the enterprise server. After the backlog has been reduced, messages are pulled from the store file back into the log and the device servers are no longer throttled. This option is only available to administrator users.

For information on audit logging, see Configuring Audit Logging. This option is only available to administrator users.

Changes the display language for the Avalanche Console. This setting only affects the Console for the user who configures it.

Changes the time zone affecting the times displayed in the Avalanche Console. This setting only affects the Console for the user who configures it.

Sets a password that is required by the device in order to remove payloads from iOS devices. This password also allows an Android device user to override app restrictions.

Forces Smart devices to check in to the Avalanche server at the specified interval. Performing an Update Now command for a device does not reset the interval.

If this option is not enabled, a Smart device checks in only when the following actions are performed:

• An Avalanche Console user selects a device and clicks Update Now.

• An Avalanche Console user performs a deployment and selects the Request immediate check-in for all Smart devices option.

• The device user re-enrolls or uses the Enabler to Sync.

Displays a message on the login screen and at the top of the Console for all users.

Enables Avalanche to communicate wirelessly with Smart devices through the use of service-specific data encryption.

• Google GCM. Enter a Google Project Number and API key to allow Android devices to communicate directly with your Smart device server. These details are required for Android devices even if you only use ANS Enablers. To enable communication with Android devices, see GCM for Android.

• Apple iOS. Upload a signed APNS certificate and enter the password associated. To enable communication with iOS devices, see APNS Certificate for iOS.

Allows Avalanche to communicate wirelessly with Smart and mobile devices using SSL certificates. This requires uploading a certificate, entering the password associated with it, and typing the Smart device server address. For information on creating a certificate, see SSL Certificates.

Avalanche allows Console users to log in to the Avalanche Console using the same information they use to log in to the network (with an LDAP/Active Directory server). It is disabled by default.

• Integrated Login Disabled. If you don't have a LANDESK Mobility Manager account or server, choosing this option will not ask for authentication credentials. Selected by default.

• LDAP. The address to access the LDAP server.

• LDAP for Login and Enrollment. The address and credentials for the LDAP core server and account. Required to enroll Windows 8 devices.
