Summary:

The document discusses the creation of customized content by Emrah Alpa's team for HP's i.R.O.C.K. Express/ESM Proof of Concept (POC) appliances to improve user experience and address shortcomings in default content. This includes a custom dashboard named "Admin Overview Dashboard," which is automatically displayed upon admin login, and the introduction of Custom Console Users with ACL-based user groups for better access control.

Details:

Emrah Alpa's team created custom content for the i.R.O.C.K. Express/ESM Proof of Concept (POC) appliances to address challenges with default content and enhance usability. This includes a custom dashboard, Admin Overview Dashboard, which is automatically displayed upon admin login, and Custom Console Users, providing ACL-based user groups and IDs for better access control. The custom content is currently available on ESM, Express & AIO POC images, and has been positively received by users in both PoC environments and with customers using the product. This email conversation is about a custom content creation for HP's Express and Enterprise Security Module (ESM) Point of Concepts (PoC) appliances, aimed to improve the default user experience by providing a more useful dashboard named "Admin Overview Dashboard" and enhanced access control through ACL-based user groups. The team developed this custom content to address perceived shortcomings in the stock/default dashboards included with the appliances at the time of installation. The email exchange takes place between Doron Keller, presumably an employee or contractor involved in IT infrastructure management or security services for HP, and Steve Maxwell, a Presales Consultant specializing in Enterprise Security Products. Both parties seem to discuss how this custom content can be integrated into the stock images shipped with the appliances. The suggestion is that once implemented, it should serve as the default dashboard when an administrator logs into the system, replacing any potentially less useful default interfaces provided by default installation setups. The discussion also includes a mention of how these customizations are available in current ESM, Express & AIO PoC images and outlines steps to obtain an Architectural Review Board (ARB) document detailing this new content for further reference or audit purposes.
