Use the Portal Settings section that is under the main Configuration section for most of the main Dashboard administrative configuration tasks, including:
General: Configre global settings such as the portal site name and the virtual host and mail domain.
Authentication: Configure user authentication and connection methods, such as LDAP and single sign-on. Because users are loaded from the Operations Center server, do NOT change the default authentication method.
Users: Configure the following:
Default assignments to sites, user roles, and user groups
Reserved screen names and e-mail addresses
Mail Host Names: Configure additional domains for sending email messages related to certain portlets. For example, the login portlet allows users to request an account.
Email Notifications: Configure email notifications for certain events, such as user registrations and password changes.
Display Settings: Configure the default portal language and time zone (by default, these are set to English (United States) and GMT, respectively) and replace the site logo with your company logo.

To restore the original NetIQ Operations Center logo to the Dashboard, use Portal Settings > Display Settings > Logo and upload the logo file available in the Operations_Center_Dashboard_installation_path/server/webapps/ManagedObjectsPortlets/image_gallery/ directory. Access to this image directory is also available at http://server:port/ManagedObjectsPortlets/image_gallery.
You can also customize logos for different sites. For information about assigning logos for sites, see Section 5.2.3, Updating Site Settings.
