This view provides some general settings to customize SBC, especially the language and the behaviour at the login page. Supported options are namely:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Agency | The agency name is used for SBC notifications and also when exporting the dashboard to PDF. |
| Default language | The SBC public page utilizes the Web browser default language. If the default language is not supported by SBC, then, if configured, the next supported language will be searched in the browser and utilized. If there is no other supported language configured in the browser, then SBC will utilize the default language set in the SBC Admin Portal. In case another language is manually selected on the SBC public page, then SBC will remember the user preference and utilize this selected language at the next access of the SBC public page. This language is used for all public pages i.e. where no authentication is required and for E-mail notifications. |

This section contains all settings required to configure an outgoing E-mail server and the SMTP server authentication.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Outgoing E-mail Server | The outgoing E-mail server (SMTP) name. |
| SMTP Port | SMTP port number. The default port number is 25. In case option “Enable SSL/TLS” is marked the port must be set accordingly to the default SMTPS port 587 or 465. |
| E-mail address of Sender | E-mail address of the sender (SBC) for all the E-mails sent by SBC. |
| SMTP server authentication (optional) |
For many E-mail server’s authentication is required.
|
| Enable SSL/TLS | Mark this checkbox to enable secure SMTP. Consider setting the default SMTPS port 587 or 465. |
| Disable auto-generated E-mails | By marking this checkbox, the forwarding of auto-generated E-mails to users will be disabled. |
| Disable Contact form on User Portal | By marking this checkbox, the Contact form will be hidden on the User Portal for Users and/or Enterprise Consumers, thus preventing them to send E-mails to SBC Administrators and Support Viewers. If any issues occur in the User Portal, the customers should contact the Support team of their organisation via official Support channels. |
| Redirect contact E-mails | By marking this checkbox, user contact requests will not being received by administrators but redirected to the support E-mail address of sales organizations where the advice seeking user belongs to. |
The Frontend URL of the SBC login page is especially required by external applications or workflows that accesses SBC. GNSS Spider and Leica X-pos Integration are using this URL. But also the automatic user registration process depends on this setting.
Example
http://hostname.domain.com/SBC/
Alternatively the public IP address can be used.
http://23.16.33.43/SBC/
In case SSL is set up, preferably by using the Spider Suite SSL Configurator Tool, it is important to consider the domain for which the SSL certificate is valid.
https://SBC.company.com/SBC/
The Hostname of Spider User Connection Log Server establishes the connection to the Spider User Connection Log Server where rover connection related information is stored.
Check the GNSS Spider online help for further information.
Example
192.168.1.15
The hostname of the X-pos Server is required to be configured in case an X-pos server is part of the Spider Suite installation. The correct hostname or TCP/IP address of the server where the X-pos service is running is expected. The TCP/IP port number is predefined to be 80 for http and 443 for https and cannot be changed. Setting the X-pos hostname is prerequisite to receive the latest site properties from Spider Site server as well as to enable access to the X-pos file repository. Similar to the Frontend URL it is important to grant Internet access to the domain or IP address which is entered as hostname. This includes the firewall settings for the TCP port mentioned above. The browser will directly contact the X-pos server when visiting X-pos related pages within SBC. If the X-pos Server is operated on the same machine as the SBC Proxy Server it is recommended to set the hostname to the domain where the SBC Website is accessible from the public.If the X-pos Server and the SBC Proxy Server are installed on different machines, then it is recommended to use the external IP address or URL of the machine where the X-pos Server is installed, as this must be universally recognizable.
PAY ATTENTION: After a change of the X-pos Server (both for physical changes and name changes, i.e. "localhost" to "IP address"), the cache of all browsers must be cleaned before continuing to work, otherwise the download of requested data won't work properly.
In case SBC (proxy server) is configured to SSL the corresponding security level is also required to be set up for the X-pos API. Mixed content of insecure HTTP X-pos resources and a secure HTTPS SBC page is not supported. Data exchange wouldn’t be possible. If the X-pos Server is operated on the same machine as the SBC Proxy Server, no additional steps for configuring X-pos to support SSL are required.
Example
Xpos.company.com
The certificate installed on xpos.company.com must be valid for this domain.
Find further details in paragraph Making SBC and X-pos SSL-ready.
If the Enable SBC-HTTP API is checked an HTTP API for interacting with SBC will be started. Once the API is enabled the full API documentation will be provided via the link below the checkbox.
Public NTRIP Caster settings are used to specify the default caster connection details of GNSS network service. These settings initialize the user specificPreferred NTRIP Caster settings. A change of these settings affects the preferred user values as well, provided that they are not modified on user level.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| NTRIP Caster host name | This host name (e.g. MyCaster) is usually used by the user account to access a real time data stream via NTRIP. |
| NTRIP Caster port | This port is used and shown as standard NTRIP caster port (e.g. 2101). |
| Check Connectivity | Verify the connection to the configured NTRIP caster. According to the result the status is Connection Passed or Connection Failed. |
This section contains all settings required to configure Single Sign-On connections in SBC.
