    BasicsBrowsers table

    On the basic host tab, you can view all the host attributes. It is allowed to add new host,  update or delete existing hosts.

    • Name: host name.
    • Description: location, owner and whatever other information you want.
    • Network: to which it belongs
    • DHCP server parameters: used by the DHCP agent in order to generate DHCP configuration files.
    • IP Address: host IP
    • Operating system: used by the Active Directory agent in order to know if this host must be have an Active Directory host account. Using this functionality, no operator needs to be authorized to add or remove hosts on Active Directory. Soffid will do it for them. More and more, whenever this hosts is left off its IP address, the host account will be removed from Active Directory. This behavior can, of course, be customized.
    • MailBrowser server:name: ifbrowser enabledname (selected value is Yes), the user will be able to create mailboxes in the host.detected.
    • Shared folders server: if enabled (selected value is Yes), the user will be able to create shared folders in the host.
    • MACIP Address: usedhost by the DHCP agent in order to generate DHCP configuration files.IP.
    • AliasLast user: Thislast fielduser is used to identify the possible IP addresses that may be associated with a single hostname. In complex and segmented environments, it is common for the same machine identifier to be used across multiple networks, whether for service replication, geographic redundancy, or the deployment of parallel test and production environments. This field enables such configurations by linking a hostname to multiple IP addresses, each corresponding to a different network where that hostname is resolvable and operational. As such, the alias acts as an abstraction mechanism that simplifies host identity management in multi-network or multi-site contexts, allowing a single logical identifier (machine name) to be present and active across several network domains, each with its respective IP addressing. The use of the alias field is particularly relevant in distributed architectures, hybrid infrastructures (on-premises and cloud), and high-availability environments, where logical name uniqueness does not imply a single physical address, but rather a flexible, context-dependent association with multiple IP representations of the same functional entity.connected.

    Access Control

    On the access control tab, you can delegate the host management.

    If you add a user authorization, you will allow the user to execute any task as a local administrator on this server or workstation. This feature requires the Soffid ESSO to be installed in the target host. To add a user authorization you can click the button with the add symbol (+), then select the user and expiration date, and finally apply changes.

    It is also allowed to delete one or more user authorizations, you can do it from the entitlement details or by selecting one or more records from the list and clicking the button with the subtraction symbol (-).

    Additionally, you can download a CSV file with the access control data and you can also upload a CSV file to add user authorizations, and modify or delete user authorizations.

    You also can view the administrator password.

    You can download a CSV file with the user sessions data.
