Use the Settings utility's General tab to configure:
Outgoing SMTP e-mail server: Enter your
outgoing e-mail server information here. For more information, see
the next section.
E-mail from address: The name you want to be
displayed in the "From" field of any Asset Lifecycle
Manager-generated e-mail messages (approval actions, notifications,
requests, etc.).
Web server URL: This field is automatically
filled in. If you've moved the Web server, you can enter the new
URL here.
Service impersonation user: This is the user
that the LANDesk Service Management service runs as. This is
important when the service is trying to access files on different
servers with synchronization or with certain workflow actions, such
as the execute script action. By default, this service is set up to
run as the network service. Change this user to an account that has
access to the resources Asset Lifecycle Manager will be accessing
on other servers.
Hide approve with conditions option: When
approvers open Asset Lifecycle Manager-generated approval requests
to approve or deny a request, they can also require conditions for
approval. While this allows approvers more flexibility, it can also
result in ambiguous or delayed completion of workflow processes. If
you want to hide this option, check this box.
Require comments and time to complete manual
task: When task recipients return to a workflow-generated task
assignment to mark a task as "completed" or "unable to complete",
they are also prompted to indicate how long the task took to
complete and to add any personal comments. If you don't want task
recipients to receive this prompt, you can hide it by clearing this
box.
Allow deletion of multiple assets in the Web
console: When checked, this creates a checkbox column on the
far left of the asset list, from which the user can delete multiple
assets. Users can also select all assets in the list for deletion
by selecting the checkbox at the top of the column. To delete
single asset instances, users must click the checkbox of an asset
to select it, then click Delete.
Outgoing e-mail server
You need to enter SMTP e-mail server information and provide an
e-mail address for messages sent by Asset Lifecycle Manager (for
example, smtp.yourcompanyname.com). Your SMTP e-mail server should
not be confused with your exchange server.
To specify your SMTP e-mail server
Click Tools > Settings and click the
General tab.
Enter your outgoing SMTP e-mail server
information.
Insert an e-mail address for the system, then click
OK. The e-mail address you provide won't be verified as a
valid address, but will be displayed as the Sender for all
workflow-generated e-mails.
Click OK.
When approvers open Asset Lifecycle Manager-generated approval
requests to approve or deny a request, they can also require
conditions for approval. While this allows approvers more
flexibility, it can also result in ambiguous or delayed completion
of workflow processes. You can disable conditional approvals by
checking the box next to Hide approve with conditions
option.
Similarly, when task recipients return to a workflow-generated
task assignment to mark a task as "completed" or "unable to
complete", they are also prompted to indicate how long the task
took to complete and to add any personal comments. If you do not
want task recipients to receive this prompt, you can hide it by
clearing the box next to Require comments and time to complete
manual task.
Since many SMTP e-mail servers require authentication, you may
need to set up anonymous security for outgoing e-mail from the
server (localhost). You can set up a local relay and configure the
security so it only allows e-mails from the localhost.
