Setting server connection options

Set your server connection options to enable successful connection for each client.

About this task

On each client, use the Settings tab of the Product Access Console to configure how to connect to servers. You can enter a list of servers that all access management enabled i2® applications on the client request permits from. If a request to a server is unsuccessful, the application tries the next server in the list. You can also enable network broadcast to search for any servers that are able to supply permits, and you can modify timeout settings.

Procedure

  1. From the Start menu, open the Product Access Console by clicking i2 Tools > Product Access Console.
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. To modify the server list, enter a comma-separated list of server names or IP addresses in the Server list field.
  4. Optional: To enable network broadcast, select the Broadcasts enabled check box.
  5. To select the broadcast timeout value, click the arrows in the Broadcast timeout (seconds) field.
    The broadcast timeout is the maximum period (in seconds) that the client waits for a response to a search on the network for a server. Two broadcast attempts are made during this period.
  6. To select the network timeout value, click the arrows in the Network timeout (seconds) field.
    The network timeout is the maximum period (in seconds) that the client waits for a response from a server after a request for a permit. The request might be resent a number of times during this period.
