How to set your own ID to connection by ID

1. Auto-generate ID.

When you install the program the first time all settings have default values and if you start the connection by ID at the first time (when open connect by ID window on the server side), the ID will be generated automatically.

Connect by ID window will appear automatically when you start the program, if you enable «Show connect by ID window» option in the server settings.

Thus, at server startup, the user will automatically see the connect by ID window, where will be generated random digital ID.

There are additional options for the generation ID, you can find them in the options of connect by ID window on the advanced tab.

Options allow you to use as ID the name of the computer from the system, generate a new ID each time when server is startup, add a specific prefix to the ID, or get ID based on one of the physical devices of the computer.

Use domain name as ID or workgroup name if PC out of domain. Full computer name, computer name plus domain name, as ID for example win2003.home.local. If you use several parameters for generation an ID then they will be combined into a single string separated by «_», for example PREFIX_COMPNAME.

As a prefix you can specify a system variable, such as the user name %USERNAME%, then the user name will be used as the ID.

These options are enough to generate a specific ID, but these options are used after installation program to set these parameters before you install the program you need to pre-configure the msi distributive and set ID options before installing use instructions for msi configuration.

2. Share your ID in the program.

Enough to manually enter any string in the connect by ID window that will be used as ID, the program will remember this ID.

Specify your individual ID, create new text file «ID.txt» in the folder with the server next to ROMServer.exe and write in the file the string, which will be accepted by the server as ID.

ID can be passed to the server through the parameter when running the server «/ID:<own_id>».

Command line parameters

If the server is used in compact mode, i.e. the server settings stored in the file Config.xml then ID can be specified in this file, just add in XMl file <ID>Your ID</ID>.

This ID will be accepted by the server in case if the ID is not yet assigned for the server.

3. Pass ID and settings to the server. Make your own distribution kit.

In addition to the msi configuration of the distribution server, the settings can be passed via xml file «Config.xml» or the file of registry «Config.reg» with the server settings keys, place one of this files in server folder with the ROMServer.exe before starting the server.

You can export and import the key of the server settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\LiteManager\v3.4\Server\Parameters.

Now to create the distribution package, it is enough to take all the server files, add settings file and pack it, for example, in a self-extracting zip file.
