The Cleo VLNavigator application is a Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader add-on program for optional multiple Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader user and application management. It facilitates:
For environments with multiple instances of the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader applications, the Cleo VLNavigator application can optionally be installed at each instance of Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader software. If the instances of Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader software are connected via synchronization, user groups or both, the Cleo VLNavigator applications will mirror each other much in the same way that fully-synchronized Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances mirror one another.
The Cleo VLNavigator application is a component of the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader installers. The Cleo VLNavigator application does not have a corresponding service/daemon. Instead, it relies on the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader service/daemon, which must be running when the Cleo VLNavigator application is invoked.
The Cleo VLNavigator application allows multiple instances of the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader applications to be logically grouped into pools. Instances that synchronize at least one configuration item (for example, CA certificates, User certificates, Hosts, Schedule, and so on) must be in the same pool. Otherwise, disjointed Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances can be placed in separate pools.
The installed Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instance and instances already synchronizing will automatically be placed in a default mySystem home pool when the Cleo VLNavigator application is first started. Additionally, any instances of the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader application reverse proxying through Cleo VLProxy software will be presented to the Cleo VLNavigator user for optional inclusion in a pool.
Synchronization can only be setup in Cleo VLNavigator for Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances in the home pool, which contains the local Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instance. For instances outside of the home pool, synchronization must either be setup directly on the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances themselves or Cleo VLNavigator software must be installed on and invoked from at least one of the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances. For these additional pools, once the first instance is added, any other instance it is synchronized with will also be automatically added to the pool.
Pools, including the default mySystem home pool, can be named with any alias. The home pool must be renamed before another pool can be added. Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instances must be identified by their serial number, but can also have an additional, optional alias.
User groups are assigned access to either all instances within a pool or individual instances.
User privileges for both Cleo VLNavigator and Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader applications are established using user groups. Within a user group, each privileged item is set to either no access, view-only, or editable. Cleo VLNavigator access is broken down into three privileges: the Systems tree, the Users tree, and the Applications tree. The System privileges match the list of configurable Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader synchronization items (CA certificates, User certificates, Hosts, Schedule, etc).
A default Administrators group comes installed with full Cleo VLNavigator and Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader privileges and cannot be modified. The Administrators group also cannot be renamed or deleted.
When the Cleo VLNavigator application is installed, by default the Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader application does not require a login (except for the web UI). Once at least one user group is assigned to a specific Cleo Harmony or Cleo VLTrader instance or its pool, a login to that instance is required (and the existing web UI edit and view-only passwords are deactivated).
A user can be a member of one and only one user group. A user consists of a username and password. It can also have an additional, optional alias.
A default administrator user within the Administrators user group comes installed. Its initial password is communicated by the installer, and should be modified as soon as possible. The administrator user cannot be renamed or deleted.
Optional applications can be enabled or disabled at the user-group or user levels. Cleo VLNavigator software also allows for configuration of the optional applications.
