How do I get rid of the choose server dialog? [CS, Ent]
Return to Introduction Previous Topic Next page

In most organisations using a client-server structure, you may well have only one instance of the Retain application server running at any one time, and may wish to dispense with the 'select server' dialog.

You should ensure that the password for the default user is set to a zero-length string (as you will not have an opportunity to enter a password when you start client applications).

In the [connect] section of clntcnfg.ini, you should add the line:

Server=[ServerAliasName] where ServerAliasName is a server alias from servers.ini  
 
An example file might look like this:

[Cache]  
RESBOOK=50000  
RESRES=30000  
RESTASK=30000  
 
[Compression]  
Level=1  
Threshold=100  
 
[Connect]  
ChooseUser=1  
ForcePasswordEntry=0  
Server=Default  
 
[Log]  
Writelog=2
