Configure the web application to use a fixed M&M Central server

By default the M&M Web Application allows the user to specify, which M&M Central server is used for the login.

If you want to set a fixed M&M Central Server for the Web App Login dialog follow the steps provided below.

Steps to configure a fixed Server name for the Web Application login dialog

  1. Edit the preferences.cfg file of the M&M Web Services (c:ProgramDataMen and MiceWeb Servicespreferences.cfg). If not already there add a XML-Tag for the default M&M Central server name:

<DefaultCentralServer value="your M&M Central DNS name or IP" />

  1. Add another XML-tag to configure the Web App to use the DefaultCentralServer as fixed server name:

<FixedCentralServer value="1" />

  1. Restart the M&M Web Services Windows service

  2. After that the Login dialog shows the DefaultCentralServer name as “Server”, greyed out and not editable anymore.
