Review user notification alerts

Review user notification alerts

The appliance displays user notification alerts in the Administrator Console when it encounters certain predefined conditions.

The list of triggered user notifications can be accessed using the bell icon, located in the top-right corner of the screen. Use this icon to show or hide the Notification pane, as needed. An orange indicator appears on the bell icon when new notifications are reported. After reviewing all new notifications, the indicator disappears.

Each notification alert that appears in the list is triggered by the related notification configuration. For more details, see Configure user notifications.

The background color of an alert indicates the alert severity: info (blue), warning (yellow), warning (red). This is also determined in the notification configuration.

Notification items always include a time stamp, indicating when the alert occurred. They remain on the list for a configured amount of time, even if the appliance re-boots. You can edit the notification retention period on the General Settings page, as applicable. For more details, see Configure appliance General Settings with the Organization component enabled.

Some notifications include links that you can use to drill down to the object associated with the notification. For example, if you see a license expiration notice, the link in the notification takes you directly to the license instance that is about to expire.

If a notification applies to more than one item, such devices or licenses, in most cases multiple notification alerts appear, one for each applicable item. When the appliance runs a patch schedule against one or more devices, patch completion messages appear in the notification panel when ten percent of each target device is completed, for the first ten devices. For more information about patch schedules, see Configure patch schedules.

Also, when a notification configuration is associated with one or more users, the resulting notification alerts are displayed only to those users in the Administrator Console. When notification configurations are not linked to any users this way, all users with administrative permissions logged into the Administrator Console can see the related notifications. This mechanism does not apply to the System Administration Console which always shows all notifications to all users.

You can delete individual notifications by clicking the Delete icon in the top-right corner of each entry in the list. To clear the list of notifications, click Delete All.

Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if Show organization menu in admin header is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, https://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
The Dashboard or System Dashboard page appears.
4.
Optional. You can delete individual notifications, or all of them, as applicable.

Configure user notifications

Configure user notifications

A wide range of predefined notification configurations come included with the appliance.

Administrators can review these configurations on the User Notifications page. Additional details about each configuration are displayed on the User Notification Detail page after selecting it in the list. Some configurations allow you to enable or disable them, while other settings are read-only.

You can use one or more labels to associate a notification configuration with specific users. This causes the resulting notification alerts to be displayed in the Administrator Console only to the users specified by those labels . If a notification configuration is not linked to any users this way, all users with administrative-level permissions can see the related notification alerts in the Administrator Console, when they are triggered. These settings do not apply to the System Administration Console, that always shows all notifications to all users.

1.
Go to the User Notifications list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click User Notifications.
2.
On the User Notifications page, review the list of notifications.
b.
Observe the contents of the User Notification Detail page.
The Name, Description, and Category settings are read-only. Some notification configurations allow you to enable or disable them using the Enabled check box. If this box appears greyed out, the notification configuration is always enabled.
c.
Review the User Notifications Label area, and edit the collection of labels, as needed.
1.
Click Manage Associated Labels.
2.
In the Select Labels dialog box that appears, review or edit the list of labels that you want to associate with the user notification. You can add multiple labels to each notification configuration.
3.
When done, click OK to return to the User Notification Detail page.
d.
On the User Notification Detail page, click Save.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users

Enable Two-Factor Authentication for all users

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) provides stronger security for users logging into the appliance by adding an extra step to the login process. It relies on the Google Authenticator app to generate verification codes. The app generates a new six-digit code at regular intervals. When enabled, end users will be prompted for the current verification code each time they log in.

To download the Google Authenticator app, visit one of the following sites, as applicable:

You can enable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console for all users in the selected organization using the Two-Factor Authentication page in the Administrator Console, as described below. Alternatively, you can enable or disable 2FA access to the Administrator Console and User Console using the System Administration Console. For more information, see Configure Two-Factor Authentication for organizations.

1.
Go to the Admin-level Two-Factor Authentication page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Two-Factor Authentication.
2.
To enable 2FA for all users in the Administrator Console, under Two-Factor Authentication for Admin Portal, select Required for all Users.
This option overwrites 2FA settings in the User Details page. When 2FA is enabled for all users on this page, it cannot be disabled for individual users on the User Details page for any users that are associated with the selected organization (if applicable).
3.
To enable 2FA for all users in the User Console, under Two-Factor Authentication for User Portal, select Required for all Users.

Verifying port settings, NTP service, and website access

Verifying port settings, NTP service, and website access
