Cloud service: does the management client require the config file?

[Uffe]

Hello,


My cloudy client repackages EA for their own intranet. The question arises, does the cloud service management client need the cloud service config file?

Yes, absolutely, according to the help.
"The first settings you will see in the configuration file are to control how the Management Client will connect to the server."

No, of course not, according to the help.
"The Logon screen is the first to be shown when launching the Management Client and at a minimum requires the address (and port) of the Cloud Server you wish to connect to."

So... Which is it?

Cheers,

Yes, it needs the config file. Without it you couldn't specify the port to listen for management connections.

Umm... Does not compute.

Why would the management client need to listen for connections? Surely the client's the one who makes them?

Sorry, misunderstood you.

The client doesn't need the config file. Where the help describes using the config client to specify how the management client will connect, it means how the server listens for connections from the client.

Alright, that makes sense.

Thanks!
