Administration

The Administration page functions as an interface for handling CLIMS configurations, access controls, and the RavenDB database. It also provides access to the History tab which contains the audit trails.

warning

You must be an Administrator to access the Administration page.

Available Configuration Files

• Configurations/General

  • This file contains the global configurations regarding the behavior of the server and clients.

• Configurations/Alerts

  • This file manages alert settings for license denials, semantic license changes, and license expiry. You can activate or deactivate each alert type, set their notification schedules, specify additional email recipients for semantic reports, and define how many days in advance to notify users before a license expires.

• Configurations/ClaimsToUserDetails

  • This file contains the options to display the users' current AD or GUID. This is noticeable when checking the list of user updates in the license/options files under the History tab.

• Configurations/DataManagement

  • This file contains the settings to handle the data files.

• Configurations/EmailSettings

  • This file contains the settings to configure CLIMS email alerts.

• Configurations/LDAP

  • This file defines how user details are imported and mapped from an LDAP source. You can configure a delimited file for import (including its file path and delimiter), set a schedule for automatic imports, and map user attributes such as ID and email to the system’s user detail fields.

• Configurations/MSTeams

  • This file allows you to integrate Microsoft Teams by specifying a webhook URL. Once configured, system alerts and notifications can be sent directly to the designated Teams channel.

• Configurations/<Vendor>

  • These are vendor-specific files where administrators can configure the commands and arguments that CLIMS will execute to the license managers (i.e., what to run to check the status, stop, start, and revoke licenses).
