NewWayService 2.x (English)
NewWayService 2.x (French)

In some cases, you would like users to be able to modify the connections list to the NewWayService database(s). In other cases you would like that only network administrators can do that (not confuse with the technicians who have the administrator rights in NewWayService).

The connections list is kept in the "CONX.INI" file on each computer in the NewWayService installation folder (usually "C:\Program Files\OroLogic\NewWayService2").

If the user using NewWayService has "write access" to the "CONX.INI" file, he will be able to modify the connections list on his computer. If the user only has "read access" to this file, even if the user modify the connections list from the connections manager utility, these connections will not be saved when the user will quit the utility.


Note on the installation program of NewWayService:
When installing NewWayService 2, if the installation is made on an NTFS drive, the installation program change the sesurity of the "CONX.INI" file giving read/write access to all users.


Other information
For NTFS drives, change the security on the "CONX.INI" file depending on what you want the users be able to do. Note that all users need at least read access to the "CONX.INI" file to allows NewWayService to run properly.

For drives other than NTFS (for example FAT), no security is available for the "CONX.INI" file. The only thing you can do is setting the "Read only" attribute for this file. By doing that, nobody will be able to modify the connections list. You will need to remove the "Read only" attribute on this file if you want to make changes to the connections list.

Note that its also possible to indicate to the connections manager to read parameters for a specific connection from a file on your network. Refer to the sections "Installing NewWayService 2" and "Connections manager" in the online help of NewWayService 2 for more information.
