System screens

The BMC Defender Server system application screens provide various system functions, including support for user preferences, login management, scheduling of programs, and configuration of global parameters. Except for the user's preferences, these screens all require an admin type login to the BMC Defender Server system (as configured in the Login screen of this group.)

Each regular BMC Defender Server operator has access to the System > Preferences screen, that allows each user to configure specific parameters associated with their profile, such as their initial login screen, and initial settings when they access other screens. Additionally, the User Preferences screen permits you to change your password.

With regard to BMC Defender Server administrators, the system application screens provide ancillary but important functions pertinent to the security and operation of the system. In particular, the administrator can assign user logins to the program via the Login screen, enable enhanced login security, and limit access to certain data items of the system. Additionally, administrators can schedule programs to execute at periodic intervals and define what programs are automatically started when the main BMC Defender Server Framework Service starts.

The system group includes various other screens to support system operation, such as screens to configure SMTP server parameters used by all operators. Knowledge of the System > Scheduler screen, described herein, is typically required to install any option or adapter to the BMC Defender Server system.
