Allow Remediation

Select this check box to allow Web-services remediation functions to apply fixes to computers audited through Web services.

Session Duration

Session duration is a time-out period that sets the maximum number of minutes for a Web session. The session lasts until this time passes or a different Browser accesses the server. When the session expires, local session information, including authentication, is lost. Many settings, once initialized, remain through the session duration.

Once you open a new Browser, the session duration resets to the configured time period.

Maximum number of simultaneous audits for Audit-on-Connect

Simultaneous audits affect network capacity and speed. If you find the default number of simultaneous Audit-on-Connect audits consumes too many CPU and network resources, change this setting to a smaller number until you find the right balance.

Maximum number of simultaneous audits for Audit-on-Schedule

Simultaneous audits affect network capacity and speed. If you find the default number of simultaneous Audit-on-Schedule audits consumes too many CPU and network resources, change this setting to a smaller number until you find the right balance.

Do not use more than __ Mbps (megabits per second) of bandwidth

To control the amount of network bandwidth the software uses during an audit, select this check box and type the maximum number of megabits per second of bandwidth you want audits to consume. The less bandwidth allotted to audits, the longer audits will take to complete. You must enter a number between 0.01 and 10,000.0.
