Overview

Configuration Summary

Configuration Management (SCM or S/W CM) is the process of tracking and controlling changes in the software that include revision control, the establishment of baselines, and would be able to determine the source and object of change. If a configuration works well, SCM can determine different ways to replicate it across many hosts.

In OvalEdge, you can establish both internal and external configurations through Okta Single Sign-On integration.

The Configuration page, found in the Administration tab summarizes all the different configurations that a user needs to create or edit before using OvalEdge.

Setting up these configurations has admin-defined specific requirements for how OvalEdge will be used.
