Overview


Update 243 can be configured to use 'either' HTTPS or TCP/IP protocols.


HTTPS


  • Is always used where the database is hosted on a remote cloud server
  • Can be used on a Local Server if remote access is required by users however requires additional server software.



TCP/IP


  • Is recommended for use on a Local Server where no remote access is required by users (eg: Local Area Network only)




HTTPS Deployment:


  • The Systems Administrator will generate a configuration file for each database using a special Server Utility. This file will be sent to each user requiring access


  • The Configuration file(s) is then simply imported from a Client Configuration utility into a Remote settings screen



TCP/IP Deployment:


  • From the Client Configuration utility, each user manually adds a configuration record using the Client Configuration utility into a Local settings screen



The Client Configuration Utility is only used to record details of Update 243 databases. Update 242 databases are accessed as they are at present
