Configuring Client Access

The message ID is the last number in brackets before the actual message string in the log
file. The message ID of the entry below is 0x00004678. Note that the log file displays
hexadecimal ids. You need to convert the numbers to decimal format before adding to the
message mapping.
[Thu Sep 16 17:27:43 2004] [FATAL] [.\NxNDbServer.cpp ] [
4627]
[0000034c] [00004678] Could not connect to Central Configuration Service
'XXX' for database 'YYY'
The message mapping for the error [4678] hex (which is 18040 in decimal) triggering “Send
email” action looks like the following:
<MessageMappings>
<Mapping MessageID = “18040" Action = "1"/>
</MessageMappings>
Configuring Client Access
The configuration file ServerXML.xml allows you to specify the client access when accessing
the server using HTTP from the client. In this configuration file, you specify servers that should
be visible to clients, which databases are available, and which users are allowed to access these
databases.
The Configuration file is located in a folder in the Avid Interplay Engine installation directory,
by default, C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid Interplay Engine\Data\TCPCOMBridge. You configure
access for the client in this file.The ServerXML.dll resides at NxN/Workgroup.
n
Settings you configure in the User Management view through the Interplay Administrator also
apply to the databases (see “Managing Database Roles” on page 133). These settings are an
additional security layer on top of the Interplay User Management.
Configuring Access
The <server> token specifies the name of the server on your network that should be visible to
clients connecting to a single server machine. Make sure that all of the database directories to be
accessed are shared and visible on the single server machine.
Through <project> tokens, you specify which databases should be visible to clients connecting
to the single server. The token can have two attributes: “name” and “access.”
