User Directory Settings - how to set

[Michael]

I'm installing Syncfusion Dashboard Server and Syncfusion User Management. Everything seems to be correct except when attempting to access the Dashboard Server from another machine on the network. When I try that, the Dashboard Server attempts to find the UMS at localhost, regardless of how it's been configured. 

The User Directory Settings tab in the Dashboard Servers Setting page has fields for the UMS URL, Client ID, and Client Secret. I understand that it's not possible to save these settings from this page; instead, the settings are saved manually in the Dashboard Server's config.xml. However, changes made to config.xml are not reflected in this page. Is this page just for testing configurations or is it supposed to be reading the current configuration from config.xml?

Hi Michael, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Please find response for your queries 

I understand that it's not possible to save these settings from this page; instead, the settings are saved manually in the Dashboard Server's config.xml	We have already planned to provide the support to save configuration settings and logged the below feedback link. This feature will be available in our upcoming release.  https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/4273/option-to-configure-ums-url-in-dashboard-server
However, changes made to config.xml are not reflected in this page.	The UMS details have to be updated in two config.xml files. Refer the below help documentation link,    https://help.syncfusion.com/dashboard-platform/dashboard-server/faq#how-to-change-ums-url-client-id-and-client-secret-in-dashboard-server
Is this page just for testing configurations or is it supposed to be reading the current configuration from config.xml	This page is to test and validate the UMS details before saving. In our upcoming release, we are going to expose Save option from this page.

 

Please let us know, if you have any queries.

Thank you, Renuka. My installation has only one config.xml file, not two. There is a config.xml in C:\Syncfusion\Dashboard Server\DashboardServer.Web\Configuration\. There is no folder named C:\Syncfusion\Dashboard Server\DashboardServer.Web\App_Data. 

The UMS Url that shows in config.xml is not the UMS Url that shows in the User Directory tab in Dashboard Server.

I'm using SQL CE if that makes a difference. 

Where is the User Directory tab in Dashboard Server getting its data from? It's not reading the config.xml file in C:\Syncfusion\Dashboard Server\DashboardServer.Web\Configuration\, so it must be stored someplace else as well. But as I mentioned, there is no App_Data folder in my installation. (see attachment)

This is resolved. As it turns out, SF installs partly in c:\Syncfusion, regardless of where you specify for the install. So once I found the other installed directory, I was able to update both of the config files.
