Deploy
VMware Smart Assurance
user configurations

Deploying the
VMware Smart Assurance
user configurations consists of two tasks:
  • Configure access to
    VMware Smart Assurance
    software by adding usernames and passwords to the security files (clientConnect.conf and serverConnect.conf) as described in the
    . These files define the security level for each user, including user capabilities, servers that can be accessed, and passwords.
  • Configure
    VMware Smart Assurance
    users:
    • Deploy and configure tools.
      Server tools must be copied to the server where Service Assurance is installed, and client tools must be copied to all systems where
      Global Console
      s are installed.
    • Create console configurations and then save them on the server where Service Assurance is installed.
      Create each console configuration by opening the
      Global Console
      and then arranging the layout and customizing preferences. Save the customized console with an appropriate name in an *.iccon file. Each console file can then made available to all users by copying it from BASEDIR/smarts/local/consoles/<
      user
      > to BASEDIR/smarts/local/consoles.
    • Define customized notification lists.
    • Create user profiles which associate individual users with access to specific tools, consoles, and a notification list.
