Preferences

Introduction

This section contains preference settings for your locality, session properties, and SSH keys.

Property	Description
Initial login screen	First page the BUI will load after a successful login. By default this is the Status Dashboard.
Locality	C by default. C and POSIX Localities support only ASCII characters or plain text. ISO 8859-1 supports the following languages: Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.
Session timeout	Time after navigating away from the BUI that the browser will automatically logout the session
Current session annotation	Annotation text added to audit logs
Advanced analytics statistics	This will make available additional statistics in Analytics
SSH Public Keys	RSA/DSA public keys. Text comments can be associated with the keys to help administrators track why they were added. In the BUI, these keys apply only for the current user; to add keys for other users, use the CLI.

BUI

When logged into the BUI, you can set the above preferences for your account, but you cannot set other user account preferences.

CLI

Preferences may be set in the CLI under configuration users. The following example shows enabling advanced analytics for the "brendan" user account:

caji:> configuration users
caji:configuration users> select brendan
caji:configuration users brendan> preferences 
caji:configuration users brendan preferences> show
Properties:
                        locale = C
                  login_screen = status/dashboard
               session_timeout = 15
            advanced_analytics = false

Children:
                             keys => Manage SSH public keys

caji:configuration users brendan preferences> set advanced_analytics=true
            advanced_analytics = true (uncommitted)
caji:configuration users brendan preferences> commit

Set your own preferences in the CLI under configuration preferences. The following example shows setting a session annotation for your own account:

twofish:> configuration preferences 
twofish:configuration preferences> show
Properties:
                        locale = C
                  login_screen = status/dashboard
               session_timeout = 15
            session_annotation = 
            advanced_analytics = false

Children:
                             keys => Manage SSH public keys

twofish:configuration preferences> set session_annotation="Editing my user preferences"
            session_annotation = Editing my user preferences (uncommitted)
twofish:configuration preferences> commit

SSH Public Keys

These may be needed when automating the execution of CLI scripts from another host. The following shows the addition of an SSH key from the CLI:

caji:> configuration preferences keys
caji:configuration preferences keys> create
caji:configuration preferences key (uncommitted)> set type=DSA
caji:configuration preferences key (uncommitted)> set key="...DSA key text..."
                           key = ...DSA key text...== (uncommitted)
caji:configuration preferences key (uncommitted)> set comment="fw-log1"
                       comment = fw-log1 (uncommitted)
caji:configuration preferences key (uncommitted)> commit
caji:configuration preferences keys> show
Keys:

NAME     MODIFIED              TYPE   COMMENT                                  
key-000  10/12/2009 10:54:58   DSA    fw-log1

The key text is just the key text itself (usually hundreds of characters), without spaces.
