  • 1.  AWI: Restrict the connection color

    Posted Jul 10, 2020 04:16 AM
    We would like to restrict not just the main color but also the session color of each AWI system. The reason is to associate a particular color with a particular AWI environment (DEV, TEST, PROD).

    It is possible to define just one value in the session.colors property in colors.properties, but by default when a user first uses the AWI, No color is chosen. I would like to find a way to limit the choice to just one specific color.

    1. Is there a way to disable the No color option?

    2. Alternatively, is there a URL parameter to set the connection color? (I've tried color, connectioncolor, and sessioncolor. None of these worked. The last-used session color is however stored in a browser cookie.)

    Is this of help?
    C:\Automic\UserInterface\bin\uc4Config.xml. The colours section. I'm English I can't bear to spell colour incorrectly.
    -<colors>
      <color r="255" g="0" b="0"/>
      <color r="0" g="255" b="0"/>
      <color r="42" g="152" b="255"/>
      <color r="255" g="255" b="0"/>
      <color r="241" g="178" b="14"/>
      <color r="255" g="0" b="255"/>
      <color r="255" g="255" b="255"/>
      <color r="170" g="140" b="149"/>
    </colors>

    Thanks, but the colors element of the uc4config.xml file is specific to the Java User Interface.

    I'm working with the Automic Web Interface, whose uc4config.xml file lacks the colors element.

    Fair point.

    Also, Worchester rhymes with Rooster. Wouldn't want it any other way ;)

    I had to do some hunting around for this before, and as far as I was able to find there is no method to disable no color or to have the URL set to it; far more confident about the no color not being disable-able :)

    I think this would have to be an enhancement request.

    There's a couple of threads on this.  I'm going to raise another enhancement request for V23 to see if we can default the session colour, department, client number, authentication method inside the configuration.properties file.

    About 60% of the requests for help I get are just for the log on screen, especially with SAML on V21.
