Network Identity Manager - Application Window

The application window of Network Identity Manager can be displayed in two modes: basic and advanced.

The basic view provides status information of the currently available identities whereas the advanced view provides more detailed information of all the active credentials.

Identity views

The advanced credentials view organizes them grouped by identity name and then by credential type. Each credential is then shown under each group heading sorted by the credential name. The default headings for the credential view provides you with a minimal amount of information to reduce clutter. If you wish you can add columns to the display using the Choose columns... action on the View menu.

The header backgrounds and the credential rows change color if the credentials are about to expire or are expired.

• Headers mean that credentials at that level will expire unless renewed. Credentials will have a warning icon next to them.
  The threshold for this can be set as the Warn parameter in the Notifications configuration panel.
• Headers mean that credentials at that level will expire in a few minutes. Credentials will have a critical icon next to them.
  The threshold for this can be set as the Warn again parameter in the Notifications configuration panel.
• Headers mean that the credentials at that level have expired. Credentials will have an expired icon next to them.
  The threshold for this is always zero.

In its default configuration, the NetIdMgr advanced view displays a list of network identity names (aka Kerberos principals, user@REALM).  Each entry appears with a or button, a pushpin or   button and an Identity icon to its left. 

Click on the button of an identity to expand the branch, displaying a button.  Click on the button to hide the branch.

Click on the pushpin or   button to pin the identity to the display.  A pinned identity will be displayed in the identity list regardless of whether or not it has matching credentials.

Click on the Identity icon to view the identity's properties dialog.

To the right of each credential is a flag icon representing one of the following states:

                None      = credentials are valid

                           = credentials are valid and renewable

           = credentials are valid and the initial expiration warning has been issued

           = credentials are valid and the final expiration warning has been issued

           = credentials are invalid or expired
