  2. Click the “Settings” button.
  3. Define about which events you want to be informed and click “Save”.
  4. Click the “Define Affected Objects” button.

    Note: For the objects entered, the setting applies to the entire hierarchy unless another setting has been made for a subordinate object.
  6. Click “Close” to close the notifications dialog.

Access for ApplicationsPermanent link for this heading

The access with external applications such as CMIS, CalDAV, WebDAV, RSS or web services has to be protected with an own generated password. The password has a validity period and can be renewed and revoked. Alternatively, applications can be secured via OAuth or OpenID Connect.

To generate passwords for applications, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the account menu (your user name) and click “Advanced Settings” > “Access for Applications“.
  2. In the Passwords for Applications field, click “New”.
  3. Select an external application in the Valid for field.
  4. Choose a validity period.
  5. Click “Next”.

The generated password will be displayed. The password has to be entered at the applications instead of your own one.

Note:

  • If a generated password runs out shortly or has already run out an e-mail is sent to your login e-mail address.
  • To extend passwords, select the menu entry “Renew all”. The passwords will be extended by the entered validity period. You can also extend a single password by editing the entry.
  • If you want to change a generated password, you have to revoke it and generate a new one.
  • Access of OAuth applications and OpenID Connect tokens can be revoked via “Advanced Settings” > “Access for Applications“.
