Synchronization settings with credentials

If it is needed for end clients to enter username and password to start synchronization, this will have to be configured for the function to work properly. Two settings need to be applied: a resource permission and an authentication provider.

Customization

When an offline publication is created, Manager will look in this folder to fetch the customizations to use in the offline installation package that is created by the offline publication process.

...

Currently, Assert Anytime customizations will have to be configured by Signifikant.

Profile

For versions 5.2 and earlier, Offline profile is read from the C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert AnyTime\WWWRoot\App_Datafolder.

In version 5.3 and later, Offline web viewer will read profile information from site subfolders: C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert AnyTime\WWWRoot\App_Data\<<site>>. The site folder is created at Offline installation time, when folders in the Data-folder is copied from installation media to the target computer. Each subfolder creates an Offline site, and each site gets a profile from the profile master folder: C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert AnyTime\Profile. The profile is copied anew each time Offline is started, a site is seleced in Offline toolbar, or when a new site name is introduced by renaming synchronize target site name in active synchronize publication.

The Profile master folder is created in Offline deploy package, a part of AssertServer deploy package, and is kept on the editor server until the Offline application publication is run.
