External web server for Customer mode

To give customer access to M3 Graphical Lot Tracker, use a dedicated web server. The server should be set up with public access and should be located outside your internal firewall.

  1. To install the Application Server only, use the install program for M3 Graphical Lot Tracker.
  2. When the installation is completed, copy any trace line folder from your base GLT server to the external server.
  3. For the external server, it is recommended to use M3 API Security.

    To be able to use the M3 Business Engine security control, enable TRACE:Security parameter in the Server name.cfg file. Also, the .GRAPH:SHAREDDIRECTORY and .GRAPH:ICONS parameters (set to point to the customer mode server) must be added to the cfg file.

    If the root install path differs from the main application server the following configuration entries must be added to the Server name.cfg file:

    .GRAPH:TEMPDIRECTORY

    .LOCATION:LOG

    .INTERFACE:BOOKMARKFILE

    .INTERFACE:FORMATFILE

    For more specific security settings, refer to User Group Settings in M3 Graphical Lot Tracker.
