Portal Settings

You can define how the PMM system will appear on your network, including the role of each of the mail peers.

  If you change the network address of PMM Portal in Red Hat Cockpit, you will also need to re-apply the Portal role and new network address before you can access the Portal.

PMM Portal Host Name

The PMM Portal host name is the name by which the PMM Portal is known within the DNS system of your organization.

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.
  2. In the PMM Portal Host Name panel, click Click here to change these settings.
  3. Select the host name for the PMM Portal.
  4. Click Save.
  The PMM Portal Host Name needs to be mapped to the IP address of the portal. If the portal is subsequently reconfigured to Lite mode or run on a different peer, this IP address will no longer be valid and, therefore, links in digests will no longer work. To resolve this issue, change the DNS to remap the host or provide a new host name.

 

Peer Roles within PMM

Within your Gateway system, you can select which peer will act as "PMM Portal", and/or the "PMM Digest Generator" and/or the "Mobile Connector".

The following information is listed for each peer:

  If the Portal is configured to share the same NIC as the administration UI, the IP addresses for both the PMM Portal and the UI must be on the same network.

 

Enable or disable the Peer as a Portal, Digest Generator, or Mobile Connector

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.
  2. From the PMM Peers list in the Peer Roles within PMM panel, select a peer.

  3. Select the role(s) as required:

    • Enable Portal or Disable Portal to enable or disable the peer as a Portal.

    • Enable Digest or Disable Digest to enable or disable the peer as a Digest.

    • Enable Mobile Connector or Disable Mobile Connector to enable or disable the peer as a Mobile Connector.

The Role column of the PMM Peers list will be updated accordingly.

 

Change the PMM Portal Peer Network Details

The PMM Portal is exposed on a different IP address to the web administration interface.

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.
  2. From the PMM Peers list in the Peer Roles within PMM panel, select a peer.
  3. Click Enable Portal to enable the selected peer as a Portal.
  4. Click Edit. The PMM Portal Peer Network Configuration dialog is displayed.

Change the PMM Portal Peer HTTPS Certificate Details

The PMM Portal initially uses a default HTTPS certificate. You can upload another certificate to avoid receiving certificate warnings in browsers.

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.

  2. From the PMM Peers list in the Peer Roles within PMM panel, select a peer.

  3. Click Enable Portal to enable the selected peer as a Portal.

  5. In the HTTPS Certificate Details section, click Choose file to select the PEM file you wish to add. Enter a password, if required, and confirm the password. You can also cut and paste the certificate/key into the box, if available.
  6. Click OK.

 

Language

You can specify the default language for the Digest Messages and PMM Portal.

However, the subject of the digest email, and the initial block of text you supply for the top of the digest always appear exactly as you entered them in the Digest Template. In a mixed-language environment, this enables you to provide information that is suitable for all your users.

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.
  2. In the Language panel, click Click here to change these settings.
  3. From the drop-down menu, select the language: English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Portugal / Brazil), Chinese (Simplified / Traditional).
  4. Click Save.
 

In Full mode, individual users can specify their own language for the PMM Digest Messages and Portal.

 

Released/Deleted Message Expiry

You can specify how many days a held message will be retained after it has been released or deleted by a PMM user.

  1. Navigate to System > PMM Settings > Portal Settings. The Portal Settings page is displayed.
  2. In the Released/Deleted Message Expiry panel, click Click here to change these settings.
  3. Select the check box and specify the number of days. If the check box is not selected, messages will be removed on the same day as they are released or deleted.
  4. Click Save.
 

If you change any configuration or policy settings, you must Apply Configuration for the new settings to take effect. You can do this either from the Changes Made panel, or System > Configuration > Apply Configuration. See Apply new configuration for more information.

If you use Peer Gateways (i.e. when multiple Gateways are peered), any configuration changes from a local Gateway can then be applied to all the peers at the same time. See Peer Gateways for more information.
