How the OnBoard Manages Communications With Devices
358 AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide
All templates in the onboard_template.ini file are listed in the Web
Manager in the Config → Devices “Command template” pull-down menu.
If an administrator creates a new template, the new template automatically is
added to the list the next time an administrative user logs into the Web
Manager. An already-logged in administrative user can click the “Cancel
changes” button to update the list.
The /etc/onboard_server.ini file stores the configuration
parameters for each configured device, except for the username and password
information for each device, which are stored in the /etc/
onboard_server_auth.ini file. By default, neither file has any entries
until devices are configured. The following screen example shows an example
onboard_server.ini file that defines one device for each of the default
template types.
