Primary Server Location
This utility allows you to choose the registry location, called a “key,” and the primary server location for Denali. You will choose the option that suits each workstation to streamline its communication with the server and then specify the location of that server.
You have two options to consider when you choose the registry location:
• Machine Key
If the workstation will be used by multiple users at different times, then you will want to use the Machine Key. Using the Machine Key allows you to point multiple sets of communications from that workstation to the same primary database. This option handles multiple user traffic from a single workstation and tends to be applied to users with limited security rights.
• Current User Key
If only one person will use this workstation at a time, you will want to use the Current User Key. This option creates individual settings for each user in the primary database. This option tends to be used for situations in which the users have more security rights.
To set the registry location:
1 From the Denali Client Utilities menu, select Primary Server Location.
2 Select either Machine Key or Current User Key.
