JP1 Version 12 JP1/SNMP System Observer Description, Operator's Guide and Reference


2.1.1 SSO console

The SSO console is a window used to reference reports and statuses. The Process Monitor window and other windows can be opened from the SSO console, which serves as the starting point for remote operation. The SSO console is displayed by accessing the following URI from a web browser and then logging in.

When configuring HTTP connection to the SSO console:
http://host-name:port-number/SSOConsole/
When configuring HTTPS connection to the SSO console:
https://host-name:port-number/SSOConsole/

The following figure shows the SSO console window.

Figure 2‒1: SSO console window

[Figure]

The items displayed in the above window are described below.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Header frame

Help

Displays Help.

Logout

This item is displayed only if user authentication is enabled.

Click this item to log out from the SSO console. After you log out, the window changes to the SSO console login window.

If the user performs no operations on the SSO console until the timeout time expires, the user is forced to log out from the SSO console even if a window opened from the SSO console is being used. That window also is closed.

The timeout time can be changed by using the ssoconsoled action definition file. For details on this file, see 6.3.23 ssoconsoled action definition file (ssoconsoled.def).

(2) Menu frame

This is the area that contains the menu of functions provided by the SSO console. The menu consists of links. Clicking a menu item opens the corresponding window, or displays a report file list or status information in the view frame. The menus displayed in the menu frame differ depending on the type of user authority. Note that this differentiation applies within the SSO console only, not to action cooperation. The following table lists the displayed menus for each type of user authority.

Note 1

For resources whose values have not been calculated, a hyphen (-) is displayed. Resource values are not calculated in the following cases:

  • Threshold monitoring is not performed.

  • Resource values have not yet been collected (for example, immediately after the start of collection).

Note 2

If the names of all instances in the same resource are numeric values, the displayed names are sorted by natural ordering. In other cases (if there are instances whose names include character strings), the displayed names are sorted in lexical order.
