Client/Workstation Configuration

In a clustered environment the behaviour of PaperCut NG on the workstations is identical to that of a non-clustered environment. The one exception however is in terms of configuration - The clients need to be configured to connect to the Virtual Server rather that directly connecting to a node. (i.e. network connections need to be made via virtual server's designated IP address). The changes necessary are:

  1. The User Client's configuration file config.properties needs to be edited so the server-name and server-ip directives point to the virtual server. The default install may use the node's information. The config.properties file is located at [app-path]/client/config.properties. Networks using Mac clients may also need to change the file located at PCClient.app/Contents/Resources/config.properties.

  2. Ensure that any URL's pointing to PaperCut NG's web administration and user interfaces; http://[server]:9192/admin and http://[server]:9192/user user the virtual server's name. For example, any links on the organization's intranet site or links supplied to other system administrators.
