  • REBUILDING - Either a new disk has been inserted, or the DHS disk had to take over for a failed disk, and is now building.

  • FAULTY - The failed disk that must be replaced with a new one.

The number of CPUs determine the load a system can handle without causing the processes having to wait. As a generic rule of thumb, if the load is less than the number of processor cores of the appliance, the overall system load can be considered normal, otherwise it might be an indication of performance issues.

Detailed information about this topic

Usermapping policy

For SSH, RDP, Telnet, and Citrix ICA connections, usermapping policies can be defined. A usermapping policy describes who can use a specific username to access the remote server: only members of the specified local or LDAP usergroups (for example, administrators) can use the specified username (for example, root) on the server.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies
Sample request

The following command lists the existing usermapping policies.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies

The following command retrieves the properties of a specific usermapping policy.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/policies/usermapping_policies<object-id>
