The Setup.ini configuration file in your VTS installation or product directory on your VTS/IS contains some settings that affect the behavior of VTS/IS. These settings can be found under the [REMOTE] section heading in Setup.ini (see Introduction to Setup.ini for further details). The default settings in the [REMOTE] section are as follows:
[REMOTE]
ClientCabPath =
vtsx/distribution/vtsx.cab
RefreshRate = 60
HTTPServerThreads =
10
SSLCertName = myhost.mydomain.com
Each of the settings of the [REMOTE] section is described below.
ClientCabPath
The ClientCabPath variable is used to specify the path to the VTSX.cab file on the VTS/IS. This .cab file was installed when the VTS/IS component was installed. It is unlikely that you will have to change this setting in Setup.ini, unless you decide to store VTSX.cab elsewhere.
Note: The extension .cab stands for cabinet file – a Microsoft installation archive. In Microsoft program development, a cabinet is a single file created to hold a number of compressed files. A related set of cabinet files can be contained in a folder. During installation of a program, the compressed files in a cabinet are decompressed and copied to an appropriate directory for the user.
RefreshRate
The RefreshRate variable enables you to designate how frequently (in seconds) the list of applications will refresh displayed following an AppsList request. The default value is 60. Entering a value of 0 indicates that the AppsList display will not be refreshed.
HTTPServerThreads
The HTTPServerThreads variable enables you to configure the number of consecutive threads that may run simultaneously without interfering with one another. Unless you are familiar with programming and the VTS scripting language, it is recommended that you do not modify the HTTPServerThreads default setting ("10").
SSLCertName
The SSLCertName variable specifies the name that appears in the "CN=" parameter of the "Subject" field of your SSL certificate for this VTS/IS. The name is exactly the same as will be typed by the user when specifying a URL to access your VTS/IS using SSL protocol. You may use MMC to view your SSL certificate to display the value of this sub-field.
Note: Remember: because the Setup.ini settings are system-wide settings, VTS will have to be restarted in order for changes to take effect.
The section that follows outlines Config.ini variables pertaining to the customization of error response messages.
