RoboServer Configuration

You can configure RoboServer through the RoboServer Settings application. RoboServer Settings can be started from the Windows Start menu. See RoboServer Configuration in the Administrator's Guide for the RoboServer configuration details.

Using this application, you can configure the following:

General: Socket service options, enable and configure connection options to connect to a Management Console, and the Verbose option.
Security: Security settings such as authentication and permissions.
Certificates: The use of certificates.
Project: The location of the default project.
JMX Server: The JMX server.
Management Console: Configuration of the embedded Management Console.

After changing any of the settings, click OK to store the new settings, and then restart any RoboServers that are running, to make the changes take effect.

When using embedded Derby database, robots can create and edit files on computers even when the Allow File System and Command Line Access option on the Security tab is not selected. We recommend using MySQL or another enterprise-class database in your network environment.

Starting from Kofax RPA version 10, all RoboServers must auto register to the Management Console. Therefore, the URL and credentials for the Management Console along with the cluster and service name must be specified when starting RoboServers (either at the command line or on the General tab of the RoboServer Settings application).

Kofax RPA contains several command-line tools to help you modify the settings in batch mode. For example, you can create several users with specified permissions. See Configuring RoboServer in Headless Mode.

If you need to change the maximum amount of RAM that RoboServer can use, see Change the RAM Allocation in the Administrator's Guide.
