Open-AudIT Configuration
All settings apart from the database credentials should be accessible using the GUI. The GUI menu has entries for each major section and the Professional / Enterprise configuration options are separate from the Community options. The configuration options for Community are stored in the database. The configuration options for Professional / Enterprise are stored in a text file (Linux) /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.nmis and (Windows) c:\omk\conf\opCommon.nmis.
Common Settings to Consider Adjusting
The only attributes commonly set are those for email (see below). All other settings should likely be left as-is, unless a specific requirement is to be met.
Configuring Professional or Enterprise
In the config file is a section named authentication. You can verify users logging into Open-AudIT Enterprise using their Open-AudIT Community credentials if you set auth_method_1 to openaudit in this section. You can have up to three methods of authentication. openaudit then htaccess are the defaults.
To change these using the GUI in Open-AudIT navigate to menu -> Admin -> Configuration → Enterprise
You may need to restart the omkd daemon / service after making changes to these items.
The file these settings are stored in is (Linux) /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.nmis and (Windows) c:\omk\conf\opCommon.nmis.
The settings are common to all Opmantek commercial applications.
