Configure the Whitelist Element for Data Sources

You must configure the whitelist element in the CDM.config file so that CDM can connect successfully to data sources. Each new data source must be whitelisted.

1. Open CDM.config on the computer where the CDM Server has been installed. The default location is C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CertentCDM-Server\Config.
2. Locate the add key inside the DataSources\Whiteliste element:

   <add name ="Any data source" serverName="*" />

3. Modify the key by making these changes:
   • Enter a unique value for the name parameter.
   • Enter the name or the IP address of the database server as a value for the serverName parameter.

   Tip: You can use these wildcards: * which represents any sequence of zero or more characters, and ? which represents any single character.

4. For each data source you want to connect to, add a new add key, and specify new values for the name and serverName parameters.
5. Save the changes to the CDM.config file.

You can now use CDM to add a data source and then connect successfully to the database server.
