The Orixa Registry Settings Management Utility

Orixa stores a small number of settings in the Registry of each computer on which it is run. This allows Orixa to be sure that users who are connecting are "safe", as no computer without these settings is allowed to connect.
These settings include the name of your Orixa App, a Password and other system settings such as the IP Address of your database. The Password is not the same as the user-password, which users enter when they log on. The user-password is a second stage authentication, and is unique for every user.

Updating Registry Settings

If it is opened from within an Orixa App, or the Orixa Database Utility, the "App Name" will be populated with the name of your Orixa App. From here you can edit any of the system values. For example the IP Address or Port of your database server might change, in such a case you can directly edit these values in an App or the Database Utility and click "Save Settings.

Creating new Registry Settings on a new computer

If you want to allow a new computer to connect to an Orixa App:

1. Open the Orixa Utility on a user's computer.
2. Type the name of the App in the App-name field.
3. Complete all the other fields on the form. Note that the "Catalogue Folder" is used to hold the location of saved PDF files and reports. It is usually a shared network drive for your business.
4. Click "Save Settings" and "Close".
