Preset ArticyServer address

Hi there,

we're in the process off rolling out the articy Client to our users via the Microsoft Configuration Center.
Currently we provide Perforce Server Details via the ClientSettings.xml. Is there a way to also preset the
address of the articy Server so that the form field is prefilled before the first Connection?

I understand that ClientSettings.xml won't help as it is pulled from the Server after connecting. Maybe an XML
file beside the installer or a registry entry to be set could help?

Best regards,

Jan

Hi Jan

you can archive this in two ways:

Either add
Code: Select all
-host <name of your articy:server host>

to the desktop link

or place the following XML file named "UserSettings.xml" in "%appdata%\nevigo\articy". You will have to modify it according to your Address & Port settings. Using the settings below, the server is automatically connected upon start and waits for user & password data.

Code: Select all
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<Settings Version="1">
  <ServerList UseAutoLogin="True">
    <Server Address="articy-server.nevigo.com" Port="16707" AutoLoginPassword="" UseAutoLogin="False">
      <UserList>
      </UserList>
    </Server>
  </ServerList>
</Settings>


This file is managed from the login screens an may get additional information like the user or the (encrypted) password of the user.
Just take a look at your own version.
