Modifying Profile Configurations


Modifying Profile Configurations

To modify profile configurations — that is, to modify the configuration option values of a profile — perform the following steps.

Step 1

Select a profile from the Profile tree. This causes the following to occur:

  • Profile Configurations tree lists all configurations of that profile.
  • Profile Agents tree lists all of the agents assigned to that profile.

Step 2

Select a configuration from the Profile Configurations tree. The Profile Configurations Options table then lists all options, and their current values, for that configuration.

Step 3

In the Profile Configurations Options table, click the Commit check box of an option whose value you want to modify (for example, Connect Timeout in the following figure).
 

Note

An option with a gray Commit check box (such as Display Time in the following figure) is a dependent option. It can be selected for modification only if the independent option (with a white Commit check box) immediately preceding it has been selected.
Consecutively listed dependent options all are dependent on the independent option immediately preceding them.

 

 
This causes the following to occur:

  • Check mark is inserted in the Commit check box for that option.
  • Row for that option is highlighted.
  • Value field for that option is enabled.
  • Profile Configurations tree displays a green check mark for the group and configuration in which the option resides. This allows you to keep track of all your selections.

Step 4

In the Value field, enter a modified value for the option (that is, a different value than Actual value).
Depending on the option, the Value field has the following form:

  • Text field
  • Drop-down list
  • Custom field (for example, SSL/TLS Cipher List)

Step 5

Press the Enter key, or click the mouse anywhere outside that Value field, to validate the modified value.
If the modified value is valid, it is accepted and displayed in the Value field.

Step 6

If the modified value is invalid, a warning message displays.
Exit the warning message and either:

  • Enter another value in that Value field and press the Enter key (or click the mouse anywhere outside that Value field).
  • Cancel the modification either by:
    • Clicking on the Commit check box
    • Pressing the Esc key.
      This removes the check mark from the Commit check box.

Step 7

Select and modify other values, as desired.

Step 8

You now can either:

  1. Save (and validate) the profile (see Saving Profile Configurations).
  2. Save (and validate) the profile as another profile (see Saving Profile Configurations as another Profile).
  3. Validate (without saving) the profile (see Validating Profile Configurations (without Saving)).

Note

You must save a profile before you can commit it. Saving a profile validates the profile, but validating a profile does not save it.

Undoing / Redoing Table Actions

You can undo multiple actions, and redo multiple undone actions, performed in the Profile Configurations Options table.

  • To undo an action, either select Undo from the I-Management Console Edit menu or press Ctrl+Z.
  • To redo an undone action, either select Undo from the I-Management Console Edit menu or press Ctrl+Y.
