How to Configure Terms of Usage

The terms of usage statement presents the end user with an initial page statement when they log in to CA SDM. The statement reminds the user about the proper use of the product. The user must agree to the terms before they can continue to log in to CA SDM. If the end user selects Accept, CA SDM proceeds with the login and displays the main form. If the user selects Reject, CA SDM returns to the login. Entries are written to the standard log and in the user event log after the attempted session login.

Typically, you configure the contact tenant terms of usage statement. If the contact tenant is configured with an inactive terms of usage statement, the terms of usage is not configured, or if <empty> is selected in the Terms of Usage drop-down list, CA SDM displays the terms of usage statement for the tenants parent, grandparent, and so on. If no terms of usage statement is found at any level, CA SDM proceeds with the login. If you configure a tenant with a blank terms of usage statement, CA SDM proceeds with the login and displays the main form.

You can configure terms of usage as follows:

  1. Enable multi-tenancy.
  2. Configure one or more tenants.
  3. Define a terms of usage statement.
  4. Update a tenant to use the specific terms of usage statement.

Note: For detail information about creating and modifying terms of usage statements, see the Online Help.
