DM Preferences – Clients

The DM acts as a server to the agents and to the console. These parameters determine connection behavior for the DM – Console and the DM – Agent.

• Idle Console timeout. Specifies the time limit in seconds before an idle console automatically logs out.

• Force change password. Automatically opens the Change Password window when a user first logs in to create a private password. This behavior is the default.

• Auto-saved inventories limit. Specifies the limit of the number of automatically saved inventories to be kept for comparisons and rollback. If no value is specified, older stored inventories are deleted.

• All agents read-only. Protects all hosts from change by executing all jobs done in simulate mode. This paramter is only applicable to certain testing environments..

• Pause Scheduled Jobs. Pauses all scheduled jobs while this checkbox is selected. Use this parameter before updating agents to ensure the application update is not interrupted by a job.

  When you clear this checkbox, scheduled jobs whose time to run has passed are run immediately
