Operator Login

[mrbean]

At my development PC, within TestStand's User Manager, I added a couple of new users - they are operators. However, when I deploy on the target and run, it only shows me Administrator as a possible login option. How do I get my User Manager updates reflected at the target.

Hi,

You will need to include in your Deployment setup, the Users.ini found in the TestStand\Cfg folder.

Ray,

I see my updates in the Users.ini found in the TestStand\Cfg folder, but I don't see anywhere in the deployment where I'm supposed to specify it.

It's been a while since I used the deployment tool so I don't remember exactly where to put supporting files, but there is a place. I'm sure Ray knows the answer. But in the meantime, you could just copy the users.ini file from you development station and paste it onto the target computer. I have done this in the past and it works. Of course it is more elegant to include it in you deployment package. Look for the area to include supporting files in the deployment tool.

Hi,


You just need to add the users.ini to your workspace then the deployment tool will pick it up and it will be assigned to the correct location for the install settings

One thing that I do to avoid having to deploy users.ini on all testers everytime I add or delete a user, is to not use the default and point to a users.ini file on the network.

I added the users.ini to my workspace. Now, in the deployment 'Distributed Files' tab, under Models, about 100 new items were checked (none of which was users.ini). Are any of these important to the deployment?

hi,

Good point, providing your systems are networked.

I added the users.ini file to my workspace, but I don't see any selection other than 'administrator' in the drop-down list. Do I have to select amongst the large number of possible distributed items.

Hi,

Do you mean, after you have deployed and now running on the target system?

Ray.
