Setup

To set up the HTTP client, proceed as follows:

1 Start !MC5 and open the HTTP Client settings via Settings / !MC5 / HTTP Client in the navigation tree.

2 Click the option Enable HTTP Client and choose an unused TCP/IP port. This port will be used for connections to the HTTP Client later on.

3 If necessary choose a HTTP temp directory. This directory will store temporary files during operation. The temporary directory of the current Windows user account will be used when no directory is entered here. Never choose a folder that contains data. The temporary directory will be deleted completely with each start of !MC5.

4 Before users can connect to the HTTP Client they will have to be added to the user database. For this select the section Settings / !MC5 / Users.

5 Add a new user or edit an existing one.

6 Check the entry HTTP-Users in the list Groups in order to grant this user access to the HTTP Client. Save the new setting by clicking OK.

8 Start your web browser.

9 Enter http://127.0.0.1:Port into the address field of the browser. Port must be substituted with the previously selected port from the HTTP Client settings. Press enter to open the web page. If all settings are correct the browser will now show the login page of the HTTP Client. Log in using a valid user name and password.

Restricting the partners that a user can see

Group rights can be used to control that users belonging to the respective group can only see certain partners in the HTTP Client. To do this, the user must belong to a group for which the option Users see only a limited partner selection is activated (see Create/edit user group). Then only those partners are visible to the user who have been assigned the corresponding group in the special functions (see Special functions).
