Management Consoles

Use the Management Consoles tab to configure connection settings to Management Consoles. The URL must be unique, but you can configure several connections to the same Management Console with different protocols, user names and passwords. The first time you start Design Studio and specify a license server, that server is automatically added to the list of Management Consoles.

Name

Name of the Management Console.

URL

A URL to connect to the Management Console. Specify the protocol by typing either HTTP or HTTPS and a port number. For example, http://localhost:50080/. You can also use an IP address in this field.

User Name

Specify a user name to access the Management Console. The following built-in users can connect to the Management Console.

  • admin

  • Administrator

  • Project Administrator

  • Developer

Remember Password
If selected, Design Studio stores the password entered for a Management Console. If this option is cleared, you need to enter the required password every time you connect to a Management Console from Design Studio. You are prompted to enter the password to the Management Console when the Design Studio is being started.
Password

Specify the user's password.

Use Proxy Server
Select to use a proxy server through which Management Console connects to external servers.

  • Host Name: The proxy server host name

  • Port: The proxy server port

  • User Name: User name to connect to the proxy server if it requires authentication

  • Proxy Password: Password to connect to the proxy server if it requires authentication

See the Proxy Servers section for more information.

Show DB warnings

When selected, database warnings, such as missing tables, are shown at the top of the robot editor.

Accept JDBC drivers

When selected, JDBC drivers are distributed from Management Console to Design Studio. Users should rarely need to disable this option.

Use as Primary
Select to use the current Management Console as the primary Management Console. This option affects which Management Console to connect to when accessing the password store, Robot File System, and Kofax TotalAgility configuration. Robots in projects that only exist locally and are not synchronized with a Management Console use the Management Console marked as primary. If a robot is in a shared project, it connects to the Management Console that the project is synchronized with.
