Not Used.
Setting Global Parameters
These global parameters are applicable to all user directories included in the search order.
● Token timeout–Specifies the time, in minutes, after which the SSO token issued by Hyperion
products or the security agent will expire. Users are forced to log in again after this period.
Note:
Token timeout is not the same as session timeout.
● Logging level–Sets the level at which security issues are recorded in the Shared Services
security log file.
Administrators can change the Shared Services log level on-the-fly to capture relevant
information to debug Shared Services issues. Shared Services application server restart is not
required to activate log level change.
Log files belonging to Hyperion products are stored in <
Hyperion_Home
>/logs, allowing
administrators to easily locate log files to monitor the applications and troubleshoot issues.
Product log files are created in a product-specific folder. For example, Shared Services logs
are in <
Hyperion_Home
>/logs/SharedServices9. Existing log files are not moved to
the new location.
● Delegated User Management Mode–Supports the distributed management of provisioning
activities.
● Support for Security Agent for Single Sign-on–Indicates whether user directories are used
to support SSO from security agents such as SiteMinder.
➤ To set global parameters:
1 Launch User Management Console, as explained in “Launching User Management Console” on page 33.
2 Select Administration > Configure User Directories.
