The management console has a function-locking mechanism that prevents two users from accessing a certain screen and option at the same time. The table below shows the management console options that Control Manager locks when in use:
|
Option in Use |
Locked Option(s) |
|
User Management |
User Management Directory Management |
|
Directory Management User Management | |
|
Agent Communication Schedule | |
|
Agent/Communicator Heartbeat |
This means that when user A is arranging managed products using the Directory Manager, user B, who is also logged on to the management console cannot access the Directory Manager nor User Manager option.
If you attempt to access a locked option, the locked option information screen appears. It displays the following information:
User ID
Date and time the user logged on to the Control Manager server
IP address of the computer used to access Control Manager management console
If you are using
an administrator
account, you can unlock a locked function by forcibly logging off a user.
To do this, click Unlock in the
locked option information screen.
Whenever a user attempts to use the previously locked function, a "Log
on session expired" dialog box appears. Clicking OK opens the management console Logon
screen.
