Because some configuration objects are more likely to be modified than others, the PingDirectoryProxy Server provides four different object menus that hide or expose configuration objects to the user. The purpose of object levels is to simply present only those properties that an administrator will likely use. The Object type is a convenience feature designed to unclutter menu readability.

The following object menus are available:
  • Basic. Only includes the components that are expected to be configured most frequently.
  • Standard. Includes all components in the Basic menu plus other components that might occasionally need to be altered in many environments.
  • Advanced. Includes all components in the Basic and Standard menus plus other components that might require configuration under special circumstances or that might be potentially harmful if configured incorrectly.
  • Expert. Includes all components in the Basic, Standard, and Advanced menus plus other components that should almost never require configuration or that could seriously impact the functionality of the server if not properly configured.
