Database firewall settings
When using MSDE (or Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition), Microsoft SQL, or Oracle
database server located on a remote Windows XP SP2 server, the firewall settings on the remote
server must be turned off. To do this:
1.
Select Start
→Control Panel→Windows Firewall.
2. Select Off.
Annotating the portal UI
Annotation refers to adding a small amount of textual information, such as the name of the Central
Management Server (CMS), near the product name when browsing to the CMS. Areas that can
be annotated are the browser's title bar, the sign-in page, and the banner. Annotation is supported
by adding values to globalsettings.props entries whose names are:
ANNOTATION_SIGN_IN_PAGE_HTML
ANNOTATION_BANNER_HTML
ANNOTATION_BROWSER_TITLE_TEXT
The names all begin with ANNOTATION_ so that they sort together and are easy to find. They end
with _HTML or _TEXT to indicate how the value is treated as HTML or text. Note that simple text
is valid HTML.
Browser title annotation uses ANNOTATION_BROWSER_TITLE_TEXT:
•
The annotation is appended to the product name in the browser title.
•
The annotation is treated as text.
•
The annotation is prepended with a space.
Sign-in page annotation uses ANNOTATION_SIGN_IN_PAGE_HTML:
•
The annotation is put below the product name.
•
The annotation is treated as HTML.
•
The annotation uses the same style (font, font size, and so on) as the product name but can
be modified by using HTML in the annotation.
Banner annotation uses ANNOTATION_BANNER_HTML:
•
The annotation is appended to the product name in the banner of the portal.
•
The annotation is prepended with a space, for both maximized and normal portal states.
•
The annotation uses the same style (font, font size, etc.) as the product name but can be
modified by using HTML in the annotation.
The globalsettings.props file is a text file that can be manually edited. It is located at:
•
On Windows: It is typically located at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight
Manager\config\globalsettings.props
.
•
On HP-UX and Linux: It is located at /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props.
Alternatively, when setting simple values, the mxglobalsettings command line utility can be
used. The following is an example of setting simple values from the command line:
mxglobalsettings -s ANNOTATION_SIGN_IN_PAGE_HTML=alwayson.company.com
mxglobalsettings -s "ANNOTATION_BANNER_HTML=- alwayson.company.com"
mxglobalsettings -s "ANNOTATION_BROWSER_TITLE_TEXT=- alwayson.company.com"
