  3. Still in the Scout Board program directory, edit the .env file and change the entry CERTIFICATE=SELFSIGN to CERTIFICATE=SIGN

  4. Restart the Scout Board service.

Configuring AD domains for [Scout Board]

The AD domain for the logon process is being used from the provided data during the installation process.

In the .env file, the configuration is available. If the domain changes or additional domains need to be added, these can be added manually.

The defined domains will be selectable in the [Scout Board] Logon dialog.

Info: After modifying the .env file, the windows service “[Scout Board]” needs to be restarted.

Example:

One domain:

DOMAINS=[“production.mydomain.com”]

Multiple domains:

DOMAINS=[“production.mydomain.com”, “test.mydomain.com”]
