Allowing Micetro Web Interface to Log In to Other Central Servers

By default, the Micetro UI and API only allow connecting to a single Micetro Central server, determined during the first login to Micetro after installation.

If you want to allow users to specify a custom Central server to connect to, follow the instructions below.

<LockToDefaultServer value="0" />

  1. Restart the Micetro Web Services Windows service.

  2. After that, a “Server” field will appear on the Micetro login page, and the “serverName” field in the API Login command will be honored.

Linux

  1. Log into the server hosting Micetro.

  2. Edit the preferences.cfg file for the Micetro Web Services (/var/mmsuite/web_services/preferences.cfg). Add the following XML tag:

<LockToDefaultServer value="0" />

  1. Restart the mmws service:

systemctl restart mmws
