Technical Notes – BrightAuthor Configurator

INTRODUCTION

The BrightAuthor Configurator provides an easy way to edit the installation

executable file for BrightAuthor. After you use this tool, you will be able to

distribute copies of BrightAuthor that point to BrightSign Network Enterprise

Edition URLs of your choosing. This technical note will also show you how to

provide a link to your custom BrightAuthor installer on the BSNEE WebUI.

Refer to the end of this document for the limitations of this tool.

Using the Configurator

You will find the

BrightAuthorConfigurator.exe file in the .zip archive that you

downloaded:

1. Extract

BrightAuthorConfigurator.exe file from the .zip archive.

2. Open the file. You will see a window containing several fields.
3. Select the target BSNEE version. This value defaults to the latest BSNEE version.
4. If you used standard domain names for BSNEE services during the BSNEE

installation process, you should perform Basic Configuration:

a.

BrightAuthor Installer Path: Locate and select the BrightAuthor installer

executable file you wish to configure. Alternatively, you can locate the
BrightAuthor installer in Windows Explorer and drag it into the configurator file.

b.

Basic Configuration: Enter the Base Domain Name that was used in the

BSNEE installer. The domain names of BSNEE nodes will be generated
automatically using the base domain name.

Note: The Basic Configuration field is only enabled if a supported BrightAuthor
installer file has been supplied.
