About page
Figure 34: About page
Displays accessibility and system health information about SPS, including the following:
-
Hardware usage: CPU, memory, hard disk, and swap use. Expand to see more details or navigate to Basic Settings > Dashboard for detailed reports.
-
Traffic overview: The number of active HTTP, ICA, MSSQL, RDP, SSH, TELNET, and VNC connections. For HTTP, Traffic overview displays the number of active HTTP sessions.
-
System information: Shows the system date, the system time, and the status of the core and boot firmware.
- Corrupted: The firmware integrity check failed. If a firmware is shown as corrupted, contact our Support Team.
- Tainted: It indicates that you have modified a file of the firmware locally. If you have modified a local file unintentionally, contact our Support Team.

General information such as, current timezone or user interface version, and so on, as well as, links related to new features, help or feedback.
Context-sensitive help
SPS offers context-sensitive help, which is used to display information about the user interface relative to the task a user performs.
There are different levels of context sensitivity that have been implemented in SPS.
-
Screen-level help
When available, SPS opens the help topic for that screen. Instead of having the user browse through the help system to find the right topic, SPS can quickly and directly display the topic that corresponds to the screen.
To open a screen-level help, click I need help, when available.
-
Field-level help
When available, field-level help provides help text detailing the purpose and function of a field.
The following is an example of a field-level help where you can click How should I choose? and the help opens with more details about making the relevant destination settings.
Figure 36: Quick Connection Setup — Example of a field-level help
The main workspace displays the configuration settings related to the selected Main menu item grouped into one or more submenus. Related parameters of a submenu are organized into labeled groups or sections, marked with blue outline 
.

-
Each page includes one or more blue action buttons. The most common action button is , which saves and activates the changes of the page.
-
/
Show/Hide details: Displays or hides additional configuration settings and options.
-
Create entry: Create a new row or entry (for example an IP address or a policy).
-
Delete entry: Delete a row or an entry (for example an IP address or a policy).
-
Modify entries or upload files: Edit an entry (for example a host key, a list, and so on), or upload a file (for example a private key). These actions open a pop-up window where the actual modification can be performed.
-
, 
Position an item in a list: Modify the order of items in a list. The order of items in a list (for example the order of connections, permitted channels in a channel policy, and so on) is important because when One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) is looking for a policy, it evaluates the list from top to down, and selects the first item completely matching the search criteria. For example, when a client initiates a connection to a protected server, SPS selects the first connection policy matching the client's IP address, the server's IP address, and the target port (the From, To, and Port fields of the connection).
Message window: This pop-up window displays the responses of SPS to the user's actions, for example Configuration saved successfully. Error messages are also displayed here. All messages are included in the system log. For detailed system logs (including message history), see the Troubleshooting tab of the Basic Settings. To make the window appear only for failed actions, navigate to User menu > Preferences and enable the Autoclose successful commit messages option.
