Configuring EMFStore Server

Recently we released EMFStore 1.0.0 and made it available for download and installation.

Using the tutorial “Getting Started with EMFStore”, you can set up a first client based on the EMF Client Platform e3 application. In a follow-up tutorial about how to run multiple clients and a server (Editors Note: This tutorial has since been removed. Contact us if you have any questions.), we showed how to run a stand-alone EMFStore server (non-embedded) in your IDE. This week is about configuring the EMFStore server.

Each server has a configuration file called es.properties. In this file you can configure basic parameters of the server, such as the port or SSL properties and also more complex properties such as data storage and user authentication, e.g. LDAP or ActiveDirectory. Authorization - which user can access what - can be configured in the admin UI of EMFStore.  Finally behavior can also be “configured” by API including extension points. All of these possibilities are now described in our tutorial on how to configure an EMFStore server (Editors Note: This tutorial has since been removed. Contact us if you have any questions.).
