Managing Connections
Connections are managed with the Connect to a CDD dialog. You can access this dialog by clicking the Gear icon and selecting Manage Connection, or by clicking the Connection State icon.
Before a CDD can be used by the CONNX REST Server, it must be uploaded to the server. CDDs are stored on the CONNX REST Server in the C:\connx32\ directory. To aid in the process of managing CDDs, a stepper dialog is used. See Step 1 - Select CDD below to begin the process.
Step 1 - Select CDD
The Select CDD step provides functionality to upload a new CDD to the CONNX REST Server or download a CDD from the CONNX REST Server to the local machine where the client is running in a browser.
Step 2 - Integrated Login
The Integrated Login step collects the CONNX User ID and Password for the CDD. The CONNX REST Server will not be able to prompt for back end credentials in order to tie the CDD user and password to the back end user id and password. Therefore, a CDD user will need to be created prior to activating the CDD. This can be accomplished by connecting to the CDD with InfoNaut and letting InfoNaut automatically set up the CDD user. Another way of doing this is to have an administrator add the desired users in the CDD and associate the appropriate back end credentials with each user id. See Administration Guide -> CONNX Security -> CONNX Users and Groups for more information on CDD Management.
