9 == Server ==
10
11 === Name ===
12
13 An arbitrary name for the server that will be shown in the connection overview page.
14
15 Example: {{code language="none"}}Frontend-Server1{{/code}}
16
17 === Description ===
18
19 You can enter an optional description for the {{fserver number="plural"/}}.
20
21 === Host ===
22
23 The IP address the {{mserver/}} uses to establish a connection to {{fserver/}}. {{formcycle/}} must be installed on the {{fserver/}}.
24
25 Examples: {{code language="none"}}localhost{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}127.0.0.1{{/code}}
26
27 === Port ===
28
29 The network port the {{fserver/}} listens on for incoming connection from the {{mserver/}}.
30
31 Default: {{code language="none"}}4753{{/code}}
32
33 === Key ===
34
35 The key of an {{fserver/}} is used to check if the {{mserver/}} is authorized to establish a connection to this {{fserver/}}. After installing the system for the first time, no such key has been set yet. Once a connection could be established successfully, this key will be transmitted to the {{fserver/}} and saved there locally. This process is called impregnation. When another {{mserver/}} attempts to establish a connection to this {{fserver/}}, it will require the key that has been set in this option.
36
37 This field will be pre-filled with an automatically generated key when creating a new connection.
38
39 Example: {{code language="none"}}65369835-3fc5-45b7-8417-77e24d38db0d{{/code}}
40
41 == Connection settings ==
42
43 === Connect automatically ===
44
45 When this option is activated, the {{mserver/}} will attempt to establish a connection to the {{fserver/}} automatically when the {{mserver/}} is first started as well as when changing and saving the connection settings.
46
47 === Connection attempts ===
48
49 The number of times the {{mserver/}} should attempt to establish a connection to the {{fserver/}} until giving up. When this limit has been reached, no more connection attempts are made the connection keeps the status //error//.
50
51 Default: {{code language="none"}}5{{/code}}
52
53 === Connection interval (seconds) ===
54
55 The interval in seconds between two successive connection attempts from the {{mserver/}} to the {{fserver/}}.
56
57 The total time in seconds the {{mserver/}} attempts to establish a connection is therefore the product of the number of //connection attemps// and the //connection interval//.
58
59 Default: {{code language="none"}}10{{/code}} (every ten seconds)
60
61 === SSL encryption ===
62
63 By using SSL (//Secure Sockets Layer//) encryption you can encrypt the connection to the {{fserver/}}. When this option is activated, the following two required settings appear:
64
65 === Path to the certificate keystore ===
66
67 Set the path to the Java keystore containing the certificate for encrypting the connection to the {{fserver/}} with the SSL. It must be the same certificate that has been created on or uploaded to the {{fserver/}}.
68
69 Example: {{code language="none"}}C:/FS/.keystore{{/code}}
70
71 === Password for the certificate keystore ===
72
73 The password used to open the keystore for the SSL encryption.
