Reading time ~3 minutes

There are two ways to start Cinegy Workspace Configurator:

  • select the "Lauch Cinegy Workspace Configurator" checkbox in the final installation wizard window;

  • double-click the "Cinegy Workspace Configurator" desktop shortcut.

The Cinegy Workspace Configurator window will appear:

workspace_configurator

Here you can configure the following settings:

  • Service URL – the Cinegy Archive Service URL.

    Leave the default directory that was defined during the Cinegy Workspace installation or enter a different one and press the ping_button button to ping the Cinegy Archive Service. If the specified URL address is incorrect, you will be informed about it with the corresponding error message.

  • Connection type – the type of the connection to the Cinegy Archive Service. Define the connection type by choosing the required option from the drop-down list: SQL, Trusted, Role or Remove trusted.

  • Login as Anonymous – select this checkbox to allow anonymous connections to the Cinegy Archive Service, i.e. when Cinegy Workspace is launched, it will be connected under the user defined as anonymous.

    Important
    		 Anonymous Connections are deprecated and will be removed in future.

    With "Login as Anonymous" selected, the default login parameters as well as domains and groups settings become disabled and the login screen will not be shown when connecting to the Cinegy Archive Service.

  • User name – the default content for the Cinegy Workspace login entry form.

  • Show login screen – leave this option selected to have the Cinegy Workspace login screen shown when connecting to the Cinegy Archive Service.

    Deselect this option to connect to the Cinegy Archive Service according to the defined default login parameters. In this case, the Cinegy Archive Service will connect to the first domain and workgroup in the list. If there is no connection either to the domain, or workgroup, the connection to the Cinegy Archive Service will not be established.

  • Password – the defined user password.

  • Retype Password – user password confirmation.

For the Cinegy Workspace client configuration specify the valid domain and workgroup parameters.

  • Domains – the list of connected domains is displayed here. To add a domain, press the Add_domain_button button; the new domain will be added to the "Domains" list. To change its default name, enter a new name in the "Name" field on the right of the domains list via the keyboard:

    domains_list_new_name
    Note
    		 The default domain name is the one defined during the installation process.

  • Workgroups – the list of workgroups is displayed here. Press the Add_domain_button button; the new workgroup will be added to the "Workgroups" list:

    workgroup_list_new_name

    You can specify the following workgroup parameters by entering the desired values via the keyboard in the fields on the right:

    • Database Server – the SQL Server name;

    • Database – the Cinegy Archive database name;

    • Display name – the Cinegy Archive database name to be displayed in the Cinegy Workspace login window in the "Workgroup" field.
