4.1 Server location

The Self-Service App is configured to communicate with the MyID Web Services server when you install the application. If you want to change the server, you can edit the configuration file.

To edit the configuration file:

1. On the client PC, shut down the Self-Service App.

2. Back up the MyIDApp.exe.config file.

   By default, this is in the following folder:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Intercede\MyIDApp\Self Service Application\

3. Using a text editor, open the config file.

   Note: Make the changes to the config file exactly as shown. The case is important.

4. Edit the value parameter in the following line:

   <add key="Server" value="http://myserver.example.com/"></add>

   For example:

   <add key="Server" value="http://myserver2.example.com/"></add>

   If you want to configure the Self-Service App to be able to connect to multiple servers (for example, if you have a test server and a production server) you can specify multiple servers.

   For example:

   <add key="Server" value="https://productionserver, https://testserver, https://testserver2"></add>

   By default, the Self-Service App connects to the first server in this list. If you want to connect to any of the other servers, you can specify the server address on the command line using the /server option; see section 4.6.2, Launching the Self-Service App with a specific server for details.

5. Save the configuration file.
