Managing Server Settings

You must have Root scope to use this feature.

Use the System | Administration | Settings page to manage global settings for Stellar Cyber. You can make changes in each section independently; each section has its own Submit button. You can also make changes per tenant. Tenant configurations take precedence over the global configuration.

About Timeouts for Client Sessions

Stellar Cyber automatically logs you out of a session after 60 minutes of inactivity.

Authentication Settings

This section allows you to configure Local or SSO authentication. With local authentication, you log in directly to Stellar Cyber and user credentials are managed locally by Stellar Cyber. SSO authentication logs you in to Stellar Cyber automatically, using the IdP provider you configured. The first time you log in, your SSO login appears. After you log in to your SSO service, the SSO automatically logs you in to Stellar Cyber the next time you access the page (assuming you are logged in to the SSO service). To log out of Stellar Cyber, log out of your SSO.

For detailed procedures to configure Local and SSO authentication, including overrides for tenants, refer to the following topics:

A Global selection of Authentication and Authorization applies to all users, so the option to change authentication method for a specific tenant is not applicable when the Global method is set to Authentication and Authorization. You can not log in to Tenant SSO when Global SSO is set to Authentication and Authorization. If you want to use SSO but also allow local users and tenant override, you must set the Global authentication method either to Local or to use the IdP with Authentication Only.

Global Settings

This section provides the following controls:

  • System Timezone—Set your timezone relative to UTC. Setting this allows Stellar Cyber to make more accurate detections.

  • Organization Logo—Upload a logo to use in the UI (top left corner), on the login page, and on reports.

    • When you click Submit, the logo is immediately visible in the UI

    • Click Delete to replace the uploaded logo with the default Stellar Cyber logo

    • The System Logo replaces a Tenant Logo uploaded when adding or editing a Tenant Group

    • To completely rebrand Stellar Cyber (removing "Powered by Stellar Cyber", adding your custom login screen, and customizing the menu, contact technical support.

  • Login Message—Supply an optional text message to display to users in a popup window upon login to Stellar Cyber. If you leave this field empty, Stellar Cyber does not display a login message. Note that this is a global message that displays to all tenants on each login.

Click Submit to save these settings and immediately make them active.

We also have a custom logo video tutorial .

Tech Support Settings

You can have your sensors collect logs to help troubleshoot sensor performance. The logs contain detailed information that is not exposed on the user interface.

At the top you can see the current size of the tech support logs. You can configure:

  • Support Portal URL—Point the Support Portal entry in the menu to a custom location instead of Stellar Cyber's support portal.

  • Collect Usability Data for Product Analytics: This setting allows Stellar Cyber to perform usage analytics, such as access to documentation pages. The setting is on by default, but can be disabled for your environment, if needed.
