config.webclient

An additional config file "config.webclient" can be used for the Desktop UI or the Mobile UI Application. application. Define the client-specific settings in this file.

Note: This file overwrites the project configuration file, so it is recommended to make a copy of the project-specific "config" file and then rename it to config.webclient. Various changes for Mobile UI and Desktop UI can then be defined exclusively in the config.webclient file.

With the help of the config.webclient file, you can, for example, use a proxy entry with the Desktop UI and Mobile UI Application, but it is not used for access via ULC UX. Note: It is not possible, for example, to perform with the constellation Desktop UI (access without proxy) and Mobile UI Application (access with proxy).

The entries in the config.webclient file can be defined in [general] and in [webClient] sections. In the following example, you can see the required config entries for a remote project with webClient and Proxy Manager for external access via mobile or desktop UI and internally via ULC UX.

For more information on the config entries see [webClient].

Entries in the „config.webclient“ file script.
