Managing the Configuration File for the Session

This document covers the following topics:

General Information

The configuration file is an XML file which is required to define the sessions that can be invoked from the logon page.

The session configurations can be created in the following ways:

  • When the Natural Web I/O Interface client has been installed on a Java EE server, you can use the configuration tool. Using this tool has the advantage that it is not possible for you to create invalid XML code and thus damage the XML file. See Using the Configuration Tool for further information.

  • You can edit the XML file manually. See Overview of Configuration File Elements.

    When the Natural Web I/O Interface client has been installed on IIS, this is the only way to change the XML file.

Different names and locations are used for the configuration files, depending on the application/web server that you are using.
