Parent Object - TOM

The Task Oriented Module (TOM) features allow administrators to give selected users rights to create, import, modify, or delete user accounts in the contexts and domains designated in the current Parent object. For more information, see the Novell® NetMail® Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.

These properties only apply to TOM administrators associated with the current Parent object.

NOTE: The rights to create, import, modify, or delete user accounts are granted in the User object under the Task-Oriented Management property.

NOTE: All task-oriented management functions are enabled by the Modular Web Agent Task Management Module. Although the module itself has no configurable options, to provide TOM functionality via WebAccess, it must run on the messaging server.

 

Task-Oriented Management

Description

Text in this field displays in the Task Oriented Management (TOM) administrator interface if no domains are associated with the Parent object. You can use this field to provide information or instructions for the TOM administrator.

The text displayed in the WebAccess TOM Administration window is determined by the following precedence:

  1. The domains assigned to the TOM administrator in the Parent object’s Managed Domain Names property (see below).

  2. The Description in the TOM administrator’s Parent object.

  3. The name of the TOM Administrator’s Parent object.

 

Managed Domain Names

The Hosting Domains which TOM administrators can select when creating new user accounts. The usernames for new Hosting Domain accounts include the selected domain’s name (name@hosted_domain). See the Novell NetMail Administration Guide for information on Hosting Domain usernames.

If this field is left blank, the domain defaults to the messaging system’s Official Domain as defined in the messaging server configuration. Therefore, the default Internet e-mail address for new Global Domain accounts is username@official_domain. However, due to the nature of how Global Domains are handled in NetMail, you can actually address these users at any of the messaging system’s Global Domains. See the Novell NetMail Administration Guide for more information on how Global Domain addressing works.

IMPORTANT: If you type any domain in this field, NetMail assumes it is a Hosting Domain and all new users are created with a corresponding username (name@hosted_domain).

IMPORTANT: The TOM module does not verify the listed domains are valid Hosting Domains. To ensure a valid Hosting Domain, you must include the domain in either the SMTP Agent’s or the Parent object’s Hosting Domains lists. If the Hosting Domain is listed under the Parent object, you must include the Parent object in the SMTP Agent’s list of NetMail Parent Objects.

If the TOM administrator selects multiple Hosting domains when creating the user, the User object is created with the first domain name and Alias objects are created with the subsequent domain names. For example, if the TOM administrator selects domains abc.com and 123.com when creating a user account for jotero, the User object is created as jotero@abc.com. The Alias object, jotero@123.com, points to jotero@abc.com.

 

Managed Contexts

The NMAP context(s) in which TOM administrators can create, modify, delete, or import user accounts.

If multiple contexts are selected, NetMail equally distributes User objects among the contexts.

 

Maximum Number of Allowed Users

The maximum number of users that the TOM administrators associated with the current Parent object can create.

This quota is not the maximum per TOM administrator; it is the maximum for all the TOM administrators combined.
