Configuration Overview

Once all classes of an application have been registered on the client and server machines, certain aspects of the application's behavior can be controlled and configured with system registry settings. This section summarizes the relevant registry entries and their meaning for NaturalX applications. For detailed background information about the registry keys and their administration, please refer to the specific DCOM registry documentation of the appropriate platform.

The registry keys relevant in this context are maintained with commonly-used tools like DCOMCNFG or the Registry Editor (REGEDIT). These tools present the registry keys in a different way. Therefore only the names of the registry keys are mentioned here. The section DCOM Configuration on Windows describes how to set registry keys.

Note:
"HKLM" is the common short form of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, where "HKCR" stands for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Server Configuration - Application-Specific Settings

The application-specific settings can be set up differently for each NaturalX application. But the question is where to apply these settings. It is important to remember that all classes registered under one NaturalX server ID form one application in the DCOM sense, and are thus assigned to one AppID key in the registry. This is why the application-specific settings are applied under the AppID key.
