Specify OKM Manager Configuration Settings

Set timeouts, page size, time zone, tool tips, and zone IDs.

Available to: All roles

  1. From the System menu, select Options....

    Note:

    The options selected are stored in the Windows Registry or in "~/.KMS Manager" for other platforms (where ~ is the user's home directory). The Windows Registry key for these values is "My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sun Microsystems\KMS Manager."
  2. Modify the following parameters, as required, and click the Save button.

    Communication Timeout — Type a timeout period (in seconds) for communications with the connected KMA. If the KMA does not respond within the timeout value, the OKM Manager gives up on the communication. The minimum value is 1; the maximum value is 60. The default is 15.

    Query Page Size — Type the maximum number of items to display on a screen, dialog, or tab on a dialog that displays a list of items. Paging can be used to view a list longer than this limit. The minimum value is 1; the maximum value is 1000. The default is 20.

    Display Dates in Local Time Zone — Select this check box to display all dates and times in the local machine's time zone (i.e., where the OKM Manager is running), rather than UTC. The default is selected. The following confirmation message is displayed.

    Display Tool Tips on List Panels — Select this check box if you want to see a tool tip when you position the cursor over an item. This is the default.

    Zone ID — If your KMAs are configured to have IPv6 addresses and if you want to connect to one of them using an IPv6 link-local address (that is, one that begins with "fe80"), then select a Zone ID to use when connecting to that link-local address. See IPv6 Addresses with Zone IDs for more information.

IPv6 Addresses with Zone IDs

Windows users can enter link-local IPv6 addresses.

Note:

You must enter a Zone ID whenever you specify a link-local address (that is, an IPv6 address that begins with "fe80"). You can specify a Zone ID by appending it to the end of an IPv6 address, following a percent sign (%).
  1. Display a command prompt window and determine which Zone IDs are available on your Windows system.
    netsh interface ipv6 show interface
    
    The Zone IDs appear in the Idx column in the output of this command. Look for entries that show a State of "Connected."
  2. Use the ping command to confirm network connectivity using one of these Zone IDs. For example:
    ping fe80::216:36ff:fed5:fba2%4
    
  3. Before you open the Connect dialog in the OKM Manager GUI, display the Options dialog and select the appropriate Zone ID.
  4. Click Save.
