To properly display content, the Web console, Dashboard, and Asset Compliance View rely on settings in the Core Services Configuration Utility.
You can configure Secure Configuration Manager to use a particular port and protocol to communicate with client computers, such as those used for the Secure Configuration Manager Dashboard and the Web console. By specifying a port number, you can meet your unique environment needs. For example, your security policy might dictate that Web applications use specific ports or you might need to accommodate a network firewall.
Web services must be enabled for the Web console, Asset Compliance View, and the Secure Configuration Manager Dashboard to function.
On the Core Services computer, start the Core Services Configuration Utility, located by default in the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager program folder.
On the Web Services tab, change Enable Web Services to true.
Click OK to save the changes and close the Configuration Utility.
Secure Configuration Manager has a pool of available reporting content that consists of all recently run reports. Using the Core Services Configuration Utility, you can specify how many days of report data are available for use with the Web console, Asset Compliance View, and the Secure Configuration Manager Dashboard.
You can also configure Secure Configuration Manager to send alerts when endpoints fall below compliance levels based on risk scores. By changing the acceptable risk score range, you can decide the level of vulnerability that results in an email alert according to your company policy. For more information about risk scores, see Understanding Risk Scoring. For more information about email alerts, see Automating Out-of-Compliance Notifications.
On the Core Services computer, start the Core Services Configuration Utility in the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager program folder.
Click the Out of Compliance Alerts tab.
In the Out of Compliance When Endpoint Scores field, select the risk score range that determines whether endpoints are out of compliance.
In the Collect Data for N Days field, specify the number of days for which you want to view report results.
For example, if you specify 30 in the Collect Data for N Days field, Secure Configuration Manager displays results for policy templates run during the past 30 days. If a policy template is not run during this time period, Secure Configuration Manager reports the policy compliance as unknown.
