Product Settings

Product Settings allow you to change the connection, logging, language, theme, and GDPR settings.

I. Connection

Using this option, you can change the default port through which the product will be connected to your organization. By default, the Exchange Reporter Plus server runs using port number 8181. You can change this default port number by following the steps below:

1. Click the Settings tab.
2. Navigate to Admin → General Settings → Product Settings.
3. Under Connection Settings, enter a desired port number beside Exchange Reporter Plus port.
4. Click Save.

To enable SSL connectivity:

1. Select Enable SSL Port [https] to enable Secure Sockets Layer.
2. Enter the port number and click Save.
Note: Exchange Reporter Plus is configured with a default certificate, which is not valid for an SSL connection. You have to add either another third-party certificate or self-signed certificate for this purpose.

Changes in the port settings will reflect only when you restart the Exchange Reporter Plus server.

D) Auto License Management

Enabling this feature helps manage the product licenses that you have purchased automatically.

II. Security Hardening

This option allows you to configure and manage all product security settings in one place. A dashboard on the right side displays the percentage of security hardening and it gets updated dynamically based on the security settings configured.

Security hardening alerts will be shown in the License tab located on the top-right corner, and will also be emailed to the users along with product downtime and start-up mailers. It will also be displayed in the notification center (the icon on the top-right corner) until the Product Security Hardening dashboard reaches 100%. For licensed customers, the alert will also be displayed after every successful login until all mandatory security configurations are completed.

To manage security settings individually, click the Configure → Change or Enable option corresponding to the required security setting and make the changes. Once configured, status corresponding to a setting will change to Configured as shown in the above image.
