Unable to View Graphics or Objects in a Distributed System

It is possible that the IIS user of the web server on a remote system cannot access the project on the local system.

Solution:

Follow the instructions to add the IIS user to the local project share from the System Management Console (SMC). This procedure should be followed for each distribution client.

Steps:

  1. In the SMC tree, select Projects > [project].
  1. Open the Project Shares expander and perform following steps:
    a. Select Share Project check box.
    b. Edit the Base share name, if required. By default, the selected project’s name displays.
    c. Click Add to add the IIS users from the domain that need permission to access the project from the various clients.
    d. In the Select User dialog box, enter the user name or group from your system who need access to the project either from the Current station or Other Domains.
    e. Click Check name.
    f. Click OK.
  • The user or user group is added in the Project Shares expander.
  1. Click Save .
  • The Base share path is added for the shared server project.
  • The individual project subfolders (devices, documents, graphics, libraries, profiles, and shared) are shared and appropriate security permissions are configured for each subfolder.
