Update the ISAPI Configuration Properties File

To update the ISAPI configuration properties file with the host name of the ActivID CMS server, perform the following steps.

  1. Go to the directory where the properties files reside (in this example, it is “C:\ISAPI\conf”).

  2. Double-click the configuration properties file, it launches the file in a common text editor, such as Notepad.

    In this example, it is the workers.properties file. The workers.properties file contains the host= line that defines the host name of the ActivID CMS server. In this example, it is worker.ajp13.host=.

  3. Edit the existing host= line to define the name of the ActivID CMS server. In this example, it is W2K8-VM5.

  4. Add a line starting with the parameter worker.ajp13.secret, where the value is the required secret from the above server.xml entry from the Tier 2 ActivID CMS server as described in section Configuring the Tier 2 ActivID CMS Server . In this example, it is:

    Copy
    worker.ajp13.secret= DD86CAD283C9ABB7AA1A229122535B
    Warning! In cases where modifications are made that alter the ActivID CMS application on the ActivID CMS server itself, make sure that you perform the above two steps. This is required because during a repair procedure, the server.xml file is reconfigured and a new random number is generated.
  5. To save your configuration changes, select the File menu, and then click Save.

    C:\Program Files\HID Global\Credential Management System\ISAPI\logs\isapi_redirect-myID.log
