Setting a default configuration for all new InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface users

If a configuration file is set as default in the ipm.ini file, new users no longer need to manually import the configuration.
To set a default configuration:
  1. Follow the steps of Exporting a user configuration file using the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface.
  2. Upload the exported configuration file to the InfoPrint Manager server if it is not already saved there.
  3. In the ipm.ini file, add this entry:
    default-configuration-file=/path/to/cfg_file
    where you use the actual path to the location of the exported configuration.
InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface checks at login if the user exists in the database. If the user does not have an entry in the database, InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface loads the default configuration for this user. As a result, the user does not need to create a connection or modify the InfoPrint Manager Web Administration Interface.
    Note:
  • To reset the user preferences, you must add the following line to the ipm.ini file: 
    reset-user-preferences-for=Administrator
    after the first login. The user names must be comma-separated. Use the * value to mean all users.
  • The ipm.ini file must be accessible by the user specified in the IPM_USER environment variable. Otherwise, the web server cannot read the file.
