Configuration Tool on separate machine

daz

I am running the Configuration Tool on a separate machine and have only one slight problem. From the Tool Bar, when I select the icon to 'log into the Operation Mode" goes to the URL http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp. Now the server is running on another machine, so how do I get the link to go to 'MyServer' and not localhost?

There is a file called UIConfig.props located in the BIN directory of the Configuration Tool installation.

Open this file with any text editor and add the following line:

OperationMode=http://myserver:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp

where myserver is the network name of the machine where Aware IM server is running.

If this property is defined in this file Aware IM takes it from the file, otherwise it uses the default setting http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp.

Suggestion:

Can you add this line to the uiconfig.props file so we can just edit it, if need be. I find my self on the hunt for it each time I've installed.

OperationMode=http://myserver:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp

Also another suggestion:

Why don't you place the SERVER IP or NAME in a variable in ONE file somewhere. This would save the installation person from having to go find all the places to change it. Not to say the number of different lines in each file, that may need changed.

Not major, just thinking out loud.

Thanks for the suggestions. They make sense and we will consider them for the future versions.

Is this still under consideration?

I always forget the step where you add OperationMode=http://myserver:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp to the UIConfig file.

Can it be an automatic adjustment to the file based on a selection or user preference input in the configuration tool?

Thanks Guys

We will be implementing a feature where all setup issues will be controlled via a single UI in the Control Panel so that you don't have to tinker with different files. We don't have timeline for this feature yet.
