Deselect "JRE" during install if you already have one installed.

Installing web interface on remote system

By default nxmc.war will try to connect to NetXMS server at address 127.0.0.1. To change that, create configuration file called nxmc.properties as following:

server = 127.0.0.1
sessionTimeout = 120
enableAdvancedSettings = true

Change server property to IP address or host name of your NetXMS server and put properties file to class path of your application server. Default locations for different servers are following:

Jetty

Tomcat

Depending on version and Linux distribution. For Debian it will be /usr/share/tomcat7/lib.

Oracle Weblogic

$WEBLOGIC_HOME/user_projects/domains/YOURDOMAIN

Custom logo on login screen

It is possible to change default logo on login screen to custom image by setting loginFormImage property in nxmc.properties file. Image file must be located within application server's class path and file name must be given relative to class path root with leading slash. For example, if custom image is in file logo.jpg located in the same directory as nxmc.properties, correct entry will be

loginFormImage = /logo.jpg
