Configuring the Web Service

To configure web services:

  1. Connect to the clock using the Administration Console.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Click the node next to WB Synchronization.
  4. Right-click each of these settings and select Modify Value in the pop-up window:

    wbsynch.webservice.username =WORKBRAIN

    Specify the username required to log into the WFM application. This username should be for a systems administrator-level user with full access.

    wbsynch.webservice.password=%7F

    Specify the password for the username used to log into the application. The password is displayed encrypted here, but can be edited in clear text in the Clock Server Administration Console. "%7F" is the encrypted value of "1".

    wbsynch.webservice.useMacAddrAsName = N

    Specify Y to use the clock’s MAC address as the clock name. Specify N if you want to use the clock name specified in the Readers field of the Readers Detail page of application.

    wbsynch.webservice.serverName=

    Specify the clock’s reader name as defined in the WFM application. This value must be exactly the same as the reader name specified in the Readers field of the Reader Detail page. You specified this value during the steps in Configuring the WFM Application.

    If wbsynch.webservice.useMacAddrAsName = Y, this setting is not used and the clock’s MAC address is used instead.

    wbsynch.webservice.timeOut=600000

    Specify the timeout length (in milliseconds) of the Web Services connection. The default value is 600000 (600 seconds)

    wbsynch.webservice.url=http://0.0.0.0:1234/axis/services

    Replace the "http://0.0.0.0:1234" portion of the URL with the URL and port number of the WFM application instance being used by the clock server. This setting allows access to the Web Services Web interface.

    You can test this URL and port number in an Internet browser.

  5. Once all the settings have been modified, click Update Server.

    The WB5500 has now been configured for Web Services.
