The Package Request gadget displays available application packages and enables users to request the packages. It has the following configuration settings:
Display Name: Specifies the name that will be used when displaying the gadget on the portal page.
OnDemandService Object: Specifies the distinguished name of the OnDemandService object that was created in eDirectory during installation. Use LDAP syntax to specify the name (for example, cn=ondemandservice,ou=services,o=novell).
Include URL in Email: Specifies whether or not to include the portal's URL in notification messages sent to budget holders after users request packages.
iChain URL: If you are using Novell iChain to provide secure authentication and access to your portal, enter the appropriate iChain URL, including the protocol (for example, http://www.novell.com/nps or https://123.456.78.910). Instead of the portal's URL, this iChain URL will be used in budget holder notification messages.
Window Height: Determines the height of the window used to list available packages. If the package list is too long to fit in the window, the window will include a vertical scroll bar. The default setting is 150.
Limit Package Availability: The default setting, FALSE, causes all packages to be available to users. Setting this to TRUE causes users to have access only to the packages that they have specifically been given rights to (through eDirectory). If you set this to TRUE, you need to configure user rights to packages, otherwise users will not have any packages available to them. For instructions, see Limiting Package Availability .
