Hyena's Advanced Settings
Hyena contains a large number of advanced settings (over 50) that are used to control unusual or seldom-used features. While Hyena's default behavior in most instances covers the majority of installations, years of customer feedback has created the need for these special options.
To see the Advanced Settings, select Tools > Settings > Advanced. Before changing any settings, review the help contents, available by clicking the Help button. Always change any advanced setting one at a time and always test the results.
Hyena rev 'D' has added several new advanced settings for controlling the display of binary data, including SIDs and GUIDs. In particular, the AD 'ObjectGuid' attribute can now be displayed in base64 format with the 'GuidDisplayFormat' setting, allowing it to be exported out of Hyena for synchronization with Office365 or other uses.
This is just one narrow example of an advanced setting; review the online help for complete descriptions of all of these settings to help fine-tune Hyena for your environment even further.
Get a Free Update (that's maybe already paid for)
We are often surprised how many customers are running an older version of Hyena, yet have pre-paid maintenance that allows them either to use a more recent version if not the current release.
To find out what version can be run on your licensing level, first select Tools > Settings > Licensing in Hyena and note the 'Maintenance Expiration Date'. Then, visit Hyena's main download page and review the maintenance expiration cutoff date for each release. Hyena v11.0 has a maintenance cutoff date of May 15, 2014. Hyena v10.5, for example, has a maintenance expiration cutoff date of December 1, 2013.
If your license maintenance expiration date is AFTER the version's cutoff date, the update is free. To upgrade, simply download the latest version you are eligible for and install. Your existing settings will not be affected. Alternately, see the 'Hyena Maintenance' section below for information on getting maintenance renewal quotes or upgrades.
