Setting up Eloquera Server Security

After installation, the Eloquera server accepts connections only from the local Administrator group members. To set up the access for other users and groups, you must modify the server configuration file.

The server configuration file is located at the server installation folder (normally at %ProgramFiles%\Eloquera\Eloquera Server), and is called Eloquera.config.

For users, required to gain access to the Eloquera server, we suggest that you include users into groups and add these groups in the configuration file, rather than adding them individually.

This allows granting or revoking access to the Eloquera server without further modifying the configuration file. You can use EloqueraUsers to easily distinguish a particular group from other groups on the server.

Currently all users that are granted access to the Eloquera server can create databases and tables.

Here are step-by-step instructions for setting up server security:

1. Open Eloquera.config on the server using a text editor
2. Find <Server> element in the configuration file
3. Add the group name (i.e., EloqueraUsers) into the AllowGroups attribute value list using “;” as a separator
4. Save the configuration file
5. Restart the Eloquera server to enforce changes

Do not remove the Administrator group from the list of allowed groups.
