Save config for every user

Hello Steve,

you need to be more specific as to which type of client you are using.

In order to guide users to your Aris Connect server you can place a link in the Windows public desktop folder

C:\Users\Public\Desktop or the All Users' start menu folder:

C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

For Aris Designer/Architect download client you would need a link to the download URL:

<yourserver>:<port number other than default or http>/abs/downloadClient/aris_database.jsp?configuration=ARIS&language=de-DE&tenant=default

and place it as above. Please check the URL parameters with your environment.

This can be complemented by configuring the client download on the server side in

<ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_abs_m\base\webapps\abs\downloadClient\config\arisloader.cfg

# Append server name (instead of IP address) to DownloadClientPath, e.g.
# %USERPROFILE%\ARIS90\DownloadClient\<Name of ARIS Download Server>
UseServerNameAsDownloadFolderName=true

# Default: false, passwords per server connection are stored in aris.cfg on the client
# In order to prevent storing passwords and to DELETE passwords from 
# all aris.cfg files stored earlier, set to true
# DoNotStoreConnectionPasswords=true

The last option should be useful for your pooled workstations.

The download client creates a new user connection to the originating server and tenant.

For Aris Designer/Architect Rich Client Installations you can predefine a connection name, server address and tenant in %userprofile%\ARIS90\aris.cfg  Please cf. an existing aris.cfg for the blocks:

<user type="connection_:CONNECT_0"> ... </user>
<user type="server:ARIS"> ...</user>

But in addition you would need a distribution mechanism, depending on the setup of your workstations/Windows (a Windows group policy or an Aris startup script), to copy a template aris.cfg into the user's profile only at a first start of Aris.

Hope this helps, Martin

Thank you for the solution!
