Project Security
Configuring server settings for security modes
If you set your project's security mode to either Distributed – Client or Domain (LDAP), then you must also
configure server settings.
When you click Server Settings in either the security system configuration wizard or the main Security System
dialog, the appropriate Server Settings dialog will be displayed.
Configuring the server settings for Security Mode: Distributed – Client
To configure the server settings:
Server Settings dialog for Security Mode: Distributed – Client
1. In the Server IP and Server Port boxes, type the IP address of a runtime project that is set to Distributed – Server.
2. In the Connection timeout box, type the timeout (in seconds) after which the client will attempt to reconnect to
the server. (A typical connection timeout is 3 seconds.)
3. In the Synchronization Period box, type the frequency (in seconds) at which the client will synchronize its
security system configuration with the server's. (A typical synchronization period is 10 seconds.)
4. In the Force Cache Reload box, type the name of a project tag (Integer or Boolean type). If the tag value is
TRUE (non-zero) and the specified server has a timestamp older than the client, then the local security
system will be updated with outdated server information.
5. In the Status Tag box, type the name of a project tag (Integer type) that will receive a value indicating the
status of the server connection.
While the project is running, the possible values are:
Value
Description
0 No cache
1 Updated cache
2 Outdated local cache
3 Outdated server cache
4 Disconnected from server
For more information, see GetSecuritySystemStatus.
6. Click OK.
