IMS Preferences Module - Options

IMPORTANT: You must restart the modwebd executable to effect any changes in the configuration of the Modular Web Agent or its plug-in modules. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail® Agents, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

The ModWeb Preferences Module allows users to change their passwords and other client preferences.

The ModWeb Preferences Module object's only configurable property is Options.

 

Password Settings

Allow Change

If Yes, this option enables users to change their login password from the Modular Web Agent templates.

Because NetMail is completely integrated with NDS®, the user’s ModWeb password is the same as the user’s NetWare® login password. Therefore, this option actually gives your users rights to their NetWare login password through the Modular Web Agent, regardless of whether they have rights to the actual password property in their NDS User object.

 

Require SSL

If Yes, this option requires Modular Web Agent users to make an SSL connection to the server running the ModWeb Preferences Module before they can change their passwords.

NOTE: You must have a server certificate installed on the current messaging server before you can enable this option. For information on setting up your server certificate, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

 

Disable Options

Each of these attributes disables a user configuration option in the WebAccess and Webmail templates. If you select Yes, the option does NOT appear in the User Preferences menu.

 

Timeout

The amount of idle time before the user is automatically logged out of the Modular Web client.

 

Colors

Template color definition options. This option is specific to the Webmail template.

 

Privacy

The user’s level of privacy within the messaging system. The privacy level controls what the Address Book Agent reveals about the user.

 

Signature

Custom text automatically inserted at the end of each message.
