Vantage Ultimate Technical Information
Vantage Ultimate consists of two components:
The Vantage Web Module (Web Application)
The Web Module is an ASP.NET web application that can be installed on any Microsoft® Windows workstation or server in your organization that has Microsoft® Internet Information Services 6.0 or above installed. You can install and create more than one Web Module if necessary (for example, one for each country or branch).
Users in your organization login to the Web Module using a web browser to view reports and analyse storages that contain the information they are permitted to view. The Web Module can be configured to use one of three authentication mechanisms:
- Vantage In-built Authentication (Custom Login details created by Vantage)
- IIS Integrated Authentication (Windows Authentication etc)
- Client Certificate Authentication (Uses fields in Client Certificates to identify and authenticate users)
Vantage Ultimate (Windows Application)
WebSpy Vantage Ultimate enables you to configure and control all your Vantage Web Modules. This is done using the following two features in Vantage Ultimate:
1. The Organization Screen
A major part to Vantage Ultimate is the Organization screen that enables you to create users and organize them into multi-levelled groups representing your organizational structure. Users are mapped to information in your log files, enabling effective reporting on any organizational unit. Report on countries, cities, branches, offices, departments, teams, individuals, or the entire organization.
Vantage Ultimate‘s Organization screen also stores a record of each user‘s email address, which is used to automatically notify users when new information is available for them.
2. The Web Module Screen
The Web Module screen enables you to create a connection between Vantage Ultimate and your Web Modules in order to synchronize permissions and settings.
It is also used to assign permissions to users and groups (created on the Organization screen) that define what they can and cannot access within the Web Module.
The web module screen includes easy to use wizards that enable you to upload storages and reports with the appropriate permissions to make them available to the right people in your organization.
