Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
BBo Sep 15, 2014 3:05 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)Hi,
Under your webconsole, go under Settings, then Web console settings
From the choice list, select "enable automatic login" on the filed named "Windows account login"
Just be aware this works fine with domain accounts (under active directory). Also, you could have to rebuild your Orion website in order to have that working fine.

saroopmalhi Sep 15, 2014 3:12 AM (in response to BBo)Thanks i got your point but when my system get start and browser need to be automatically open and it will automatically login into orion domain accounts which i created in AD.

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
BBo Sep 15, 2014 3:20 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)Yes this is totally possible.
Specify to open automatically your Orion webpage with the "home" feature. Just make sure to open automatically the View associated to your AD user.
For instace, the link should look like this at the end: /SummaryView.aspx?ViewID=146
where ViewID=146 is the view associated to my own windows account

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
BBo Sep 15, 2014 3:45 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)The home thing is for Internet Explorer. You have asked for automatic opening of web browser, pointing directly on your Orion wbe page
On your computer, create a schedule task or put Internet Explorer in the "open program automatically at startup" and then make your Orion web page as home page
After, regarding the thing with "View", this time this is under Orion. I guess you have created at least one view, which has been given an ID (like 146 for me). To keep that simple, when you have your Orion webpage opened and showing what you want to see from the beginning, then register this page as home page. That's it

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
saroopmalhi Sep 15, 2014 4:20 AM (in response to BBo)Yes i have created different NOC View and assigned to particular user to that NOC View.
You mean to say that when ever any user login from his account in orion and those link i need to be copied on Internet explore as a home page.
Am i correct or not?
Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
saroopmalhi Sep 15, 2014 4:51 AM (in response to BBo)I have created different groups in AD and created different NOC view.And also created different users in Active directrory
And those groups are configured in Orion perfectly and every user can login from his account in orion smoothly.
I mean to say that users can login to their computers with Active directory account and same account also used for orion purpose,
which i have done correctly.The issue is that i want to play different sounds alert file for their account.While my Orion server is on
different location and that sound run on their computers is that possibe and how do i add different sounds file in Orion?
And how do i configure this sound alerting file?
-
Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
BBo Sep 15, 2014 5:13 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)To be honest, I don 't use sounds in my alerts but I guess, if you want to have different sound per user, then you have to create differents Alerts (created with the Alert Manager available directly on your Orion server) attached to specific user and then add a sound in the "Actions" field. Sounds can be found more or less everywhere on your network, you just have to specify the path.

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
saroopmalhi Sep 15, 2014 5:21 AM (in response to BBo)Please could you just let me know how do i configure basic sound play alert file in Orion?
-
Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
BBo Sep 15, 2014 5:26 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)
On your Orion server, you have an application named "Basic Alert"Open it, and from here , create an alert, for instance: Alert me when a node goes down (which is created by default if I remember well).
If created, select it, then edit it and in the Actions fields, select an action "play sound". If not created, create it, and the same, select play sound under Actions tab

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
saroopmalhi Dec 23, 2014 7:06 AM (in response to BBo)How do i rebuild the the solarwinds website for automatic login for orion users?
-
Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
mharvey Dec 23, 2014 8:47 AM (in response to saroopmalhi)The SolarWinds website can only auto-login Windows accounts, not the Orion accounts. If the user does not have an AD Account, they will have to login each time. There's no way around that as there's nothing from their system that will know not to try to pass the Windows credentials instead. If you are referring to Windows credentials, you can do this in settings as mentioned in previous posts, or in the configuration wizard under website, select the option to enable automatic authentication, but again this ONLY works for Windows AD log ins, NOT orion logins like admin or guest. You can give an Orion user a sense of auto login by editing their account and disabling session timeout. That will create the appearance of an auto login if they are using the same machine to access the website.

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
wlutherDec 23, 2014 12:23 PM (in response to mharvey)
I think there is actually a built-in/default SolarWinds account you can use to auto login, actually not requiring a user login. I believe it is simply created with a specific/reserved username, by an admin, and then you can use a link with that account in the name, allowing login without showing the user/password in the url.
I think this only works for the one, single account, and not for all users.
For various security concerns, I would be careful, and make sure to limit any views/permissions accordingly.Let me see if I can locate that info for you, and I will post it once I find it. (I am certain it is in the administrators guide... just not sure where within the guide...)
UPDATED:
AH... DirectLink, that is what it is called...
I found this in the NPM Administration guide located here. (The "DirectLink Account" section starts on page 542)
Using the DirectLink Account
Enabling a DirectLink account allows you to make direct hyperlinks to specific web console views available to individuals who do not already have Orion Web Console user accounts. Any URL referring directly to an NPM web page bypasses the login screen, logging the user into the DirectLink account. The DirectLink account is created like any other account, and it can include custom views and account limitations. For more information web console accounts, see "Creating New Accounts".
To enable a DirectLink account for the Orion Web Console:
1. Log in to the Orion Web Console as an administrator.
2. Click Settings in the top right of the web console, and then click Manage Accounts in the Accounts grouping.
3. Click Add.
4. Type DirectLink as the new User Name.
5. Type a Password, confirm it, and then click Submit.
6. Edit DirectLink account options, as necessary, for your installation of Orion Network Performance Monitor. For more information about editing account options, see "Editing User Accounts".
7. Create a custom view to be used as the home page of the DirectLink account. For more information, see "Creating New Views".
8. Specify the new DirectLink view as a default view in Account Manger. For more information, see "Editing User Accounts".
9. If you would like to limit the DirectLink account to specific devices or device types, see "Setting Account Limitations".
I hope this helps.

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
mharvey Dec 23, 2014 12:29 PM (in response to wluther)I was thinking about that when I was responding, but I haven't tested to see if it still works. I'd imagine it does, but it is fairly limiting as a user would only be signed in as DirectLink and end up with all the limitations provided to that account. But good call wluther

If you create a shortcut for your 'BROWSER' then edit that shortcut to what mcam has (customize to your servername on site & your ViewID so it opens to the View you want) then drop that Shortcut into your 'StartUp' Folder, it will log you in every time.
* Issues with this setup *
If you have a PW policy then you have to adjust your shortcut each time the PW is changed.
Your PW is stored in plain text within the shortcut

Re: How to setup automatic login in Orion npm?
saroopmalhi Sep 17, 2014 10:07 AM (in response to mcam)Thanks for your guidance and its worked fine now.!!!
One thing more i have to ask from you.
I have created different AD groups in Orion and then i add Limitation to that group as "Single Group".
But the users are in that group unable to see or open hard disk status or neither they don't have access to Apinsight Exchange or any application.
I wanted to give them that sorts of those permissions.I am getting following message.
You do not have permission to view Net Object "AA:69".
