On this tab the general settings for an ITP/Server setup are set.
On the ITP/Server Manager tab, you can see the folder ITPWORK that is used by that particular ITP/Server installation. This is also the ITPWORK folder were your ITP Models can be placed.
The Session Folder is the folder where the ITP/Server Sessions are stored. By default Session data is stored in the folder ITPWORK, but this can be changed to a shared location if Document Processors are hosted on multiple servers. This setting only changes the location of the folder and is applied at the next restart of ITP/Server. Existing sessions in the old location are not automatically migrated to the new location.
ITP/Server uses one interface to listen for requests, an TCP/IP interface. The interface needs a few settings to function.
Either a port number or a symbolic port name.
This is an optional setting. When it is not set the default value will be used: access restricted to the local host.
It can be set to one of:
Access is restricted to the local host. Access is restricted to clients running on the host (when using the IP address 127.0.0.1).
Public access. No access restrictions.
Network access list. Access is based on a comma-separated list of numerical IP addresses and their network masks. This list can include and/or exclude specific hosts and/or parts of a network. IP addresses are specified in the format n.n.n.n/m where n.n.n.n is the IP number of the host/network and m is the number of bits in the netmask. All bits in this mask must match the IP number for the entry to match. Example: 10.0.0.10 specifies host 10.0.0.10 (with default netmask 255.255.255.255) 10.0.0.10/24 specifies network 10.0.0. with netmask 255.255.255.0. This defines a range of hosts from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255. 0.0.0.0/0 specifies any IP address.
Hosts can be granted access by prefixing their address with a '+', or denied access by prefixing a '-'. The first match in the access list will determine whether or not ITP/Server will grant access to the client. Example: PortSecurity=-10.0.0.4,10.0.0.0/24,127.0.0.1 will deny access to host 10.0.0.4 but grant access to all other hosts in the range 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255, as well as to the local server using the localhost address.
By default access is restricted to the local host.
The 'Disable TCP/IP Buffering' option will, when selected, disable the packet size optimizations done by the Nagle algorithm. This option will improve responsiveness significantly at the cost of increased network traffic.
This option has only an effect if the network connection is between different (virtual) computers. Connections over the local host/loopback interface are never buffered.
Note
This is an advanced setting. Use with care.
This button opens the License window in this window you can enter or edit license details. You can find the information you need to enter on the License Certificate sent to you by Aia Software.
The ITP/Server processes should run under the same account. If, for some reason, this is not the case you can use the Set account… button to bring all processes in line. You can choose to run under the Local System account or under a user account.
Local account
If the ITP/Server set-up runs on one machine you can use the Local System account.
Dedicated account
If ITP/Server runs on more than one machine you must enter an user account. Advised is to create a dedicated account to run ITP/Server. The specific rights of this account can be found in the Security chapter of the ITP/Server Manual.
Note
Enter the complete network domain name\user account name:
<domain name>\<account name>
After you click the button OK or the button Cancel the ITP/Server Change Account Log is shown.
