Configuring the Web Interface to Use a fixed Micetro Central Server

By default, the Micetro Web Interface allows you to select the Micetro Central server for login. If you want to set a fixed Micetro Central Server for the login dialog box, follow the steps below.

Windows

To configure a fixed Server name for the Web Interface login:

  1. Edit the preferences.cfg file for the M&M Web Services located at c:\\ProgramData\\Men and Mice\\Web Services\\preferences.cfg. If it doesn’t exist, insert an XML-Tag for the default Micetro Central server name:

<DefaultCentralServer value="your M&M Central DNS name or IP" />

  1. Add an XML tag to set the Web Interface to use the DefaultCentralServer as a fixed server name:

<FixedCentralServer value="1" />

  1. Restart the M&M Web Services Windows service.

  2. After that, the login dialog box will display the DefaultCentralServer name as “Server”, which will be greyed out and uneditable.

It’s a good idea to clear the browser’s cached cookies and reload the Web Interface page to ensure the correct data is displayed.

Linux

  1. Log into the server hosting the Web Interface.

  2. Edit the preferences.cfg file for the M&M Web Services (/var/mmsuite/web_services/preferences.cfg). Add an XML tag for the default Micetro Central server name if it’s missing:

<DefaultCentralServer value="your M&M Central DNS name or IP" />

  1. Add an XML tag to set the Web Interface to use the DefaultCentralServer as fixed server name:

<FixedCentralServer value="1" />
