Connection Preferences

Use the connection preferences dialog to specify default settings for systems used to test policy. These systems can be remote machines or virtual machines (e.g., VMware) as long as a secure shell server and SLIDE Remote run on the target.

To specify a new test system, press 'Add' and a new connection will be added with default values. To modify these defaults, select the new connection and change the values as desired.

Name	Unique name for the connection.
Refresh	Frequency at which the connection polls the remote machine for information.
Host	IP address or name of the remote machine.
Port	The port number on which SLIDE Remote listens. Do not change this value unless you have customized SLIDE Remote.
Username	Login name to use on the remote machine. The user must have permissions to read log files and manage policy.
Password	Password for the specified user. Leave this field blank to be prompted for the password when the connection is established.
Log Files	Log file(s), including path, to show in the audit view.

Press 'Test Connection' to verify the settings. Note that SLIDE Remote helper process must be running on the remote machine for this to work. Any communication problem will be reported.
