# Basics

# Target audience

This document is addressed to ELO Web Client administrators.

Separate documentation (opens new window) is available for users explaining how the ELO Web Client works.

# Requirements and installation

# Web archive

The ELO Web Client consists of a web archive (.war) that is deployed on an Apache Tomcat server.

The ELO Web Client must be installed individually for each repository that is managed through a separate ELO Indexserver.

# ELO Server/Tomcat

To enable parameter transfer with special characters, the /conf/server.xml file must have the entry URIEncoding=“UTF-8“ in the Connector section of the ELO server/Tomcat.

Example

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8" />

# Browser

The ELO Web Client runs as a web application in a browser. As an HTML5 application, the ELO Web Client requires a current browser. The browser must support the latest HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript standards.

Information

Configure the browser to allow cookies and enable JavaScript.

The System requirements (opens new window) contains information about which browsers are currently supported.

Though the ELO Web Client is generally supported by older browser versions, we recommended using the latest versions for better performance.

Information

When using Internet Explorer, icons may not load correctly. In this case, the default icons are displayed instead.

# ELO Indexserver access

The ELO Indexserver must be directly available for the browser (see section ELO Web Client Internet Access).

# Single sign-on

The single sign-on (SSO) function is run automatically via the ELO Indexserver. You do not need to configure this in the ELO Web Client.

# Installation

The ELO Web Client installed using the ELO Server Setup (see separate documentation (opens new window)).

# ELO Web Client Internet Access

To work with the ELO Web Client both via the intranet and the Internet, ELO Web Client Internet Access has to be configured accordingly.

Refer to the separate section for information on the configuration of ELO Web Client internet access.

# Starting the program

The ELO Web Client offers a number of options to start the program.

For more information on starting the program for the first time, refer to the Start pages and entry points chapter.

# Manual logon

Manual logon does not require additional settings. You access the manual logon page via a URL with the following format:

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repository name>/
