Installing LN Studio (CE)

Step 1. Download the zip file with the LN Studio software

Download the InforLNStudio_10.6.0.nnn-x86_64.zip file from KB 1561993 on https://www.inforxtreme.com. “nnn” represents a build number, such as “0317”.

Step 2. Install LN Studio

  1. Create an installation folder on the client PC. The recommended installation folder is C:\Infor\LN\LNStudio.

    Do not install in a Windows protected folder such as C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).

  2. Extract all contents of the InforLNStudio_10.6.0.nnn-x86_64.zip file to the new installation folder.
Step 3. Define connection points

To define a connection point for Project Server:

  1. Start LN Studio by running eclipse.exe in the installation folder.
  2. In the Workspace Launcher dialog box, select a location for the workspace. Perform one of these actions:
    • Accept the default - inside your “user home” folder.
    • Browse to an existing folder.
    • Specify a new folder to store your work.
    Then click OK.
  3. When LN Studio has started, select Window > Preferences.
  4. Add a cloud environment:
    1. In the tree in the left pane of the Preferences page, select Infor LN JCA Connectivity > Cloud Environments.
    2. To add a cloud environment, click Add.
    3. Select Import from file and browse to the location of the .ionapi file that was created when registering the authorized app in ION. To complete the browse dialog box, click Open.
    4. Click Import.
    5. Copy the value of the Gateway URL to the clipboard.
    6. Click Finish.
  5. Add a server certificate to the trust store:
    1. In the tree in the left pane of the Preferences page, select Infor LN JCA Connectivity > Trusted SSL Certificates.
    2. Click Browse to select the folder to place your trust store that contains certificates for trusted HTTPS connections.
    3. Select an existing trust store or specify the name for a new trust store. For example, LNStudioTrustStore.jks.
    4. To complete the browse dialog box, click Open.
    5. Optionally, specify a password for the trust store. If you leave the TrustStore password field blank, a default password is used.
    6. Click Apply. If the trust store did not yet exist, you are prompted whether you want to create a new one. Click Yes.
    7. In the URL to be checked field, paste the Gateway URL that you copied earlier.
    8. Click Check. Usually, a "Check failed" dialog box, which suggests to import the certificate presented by the server, is displayed. Click Yes. The Import Certificate dialog box is displayed.
    9. In the Import Certificate dialog box, the Server Certificates drop-down list may contain more than one certificate. The HTTPS server presents a chain of certificates, starting with its own certificate. Next is the certificate of the Certification Authority (CA) that issued the server certificate, followed by the issuer of the CA certificate, and so on. The last certificate in the chain is usually a "root CA certificate", issued by itself. You must import the last certificate. This certificate is already selected in the drop-down list. Details of the selected certificate are displayed in the dialog box.
    10. In the Alias field, specify a short name for the certificate. This alias is stored in lower case in the trust store. Click Finish. The certificate is now present in the Certificates table.
    11. Click Check again. A "Check succeeded" dialog box is displayed.
  6. Configure the Project Server connection point:
    1. In the tree in the left pane of the Preferences page, select Infor LN JCA Connectivity. A table with connection points is displayed.
    2. Select ProjectServer and click Edit. The Configure Connection point wizard starts.
    3. In the Activation Type drop-down list, select HTTP-OAuth2 and click Next.
    4. Select the correct Cloud Environment from the drop-down list.
    5. Ensure the Company field is set to 0.
    6. Click Finish to end the Configure Connection wizard.
    7. Ensure the ProjectServer connection point is selected, and click Ping.
    8. A browser dialog box with a login screen is displayed. This dialog box is presented by the authorization server in the cloud. Specify your credentials for accessing the cloud.
    9. You are prompted whether you want to grant application access to the LN Studio. Click Allow.

    10. A “Ping succeeded” message is displayed. Click OK.

      This validates that the connection to the cloud can be made.
