3.4.0 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 2: Matrix Administration 22

• Move Up/Move Down. Use these buttons to reorder the list in the

Bookmarks window. This option is especially useful for changing the

connection order for the servers in a matrix.

NOTE: If you are using a wildcard to match the servers in the matrix,

the wildcard entry should appear after any server entries. You

can use the move buttons to reorder the entries as necessary.

(For information about wildcards, see the description of the

.matrixrc file in the PolyServe Matrix Server Command Reference.)

• Reset. This option is useful if you have checked the “Remember this

password” box on the Authentication Parameters dialog. If the user

name/password information has changed, clicking Reset allows you to

clear the saved user name and password. When you enter the new

password information on the Authentication Parameters dialog, click

the “Remember this password” checkbox to update the .matrixrc file

with the new information.

NOTE: The password information is automatically removed if you get a

password failure when connecting to the matrix.

The “Synchronize Server Bookmarks Automatically” feature

automatically adds (or removes) bookmark entries when you connect to a

server that has been bookmarked. The resulting list of bookmarks

matches the list of servers in the matrix to which the connected server

belongs. You can then select the matrix, or any server in the matrix, for

the connection. If the connection attempt fails, Matrix Server will try to

make the connection via another bookmarked server in that matrix.

Update an Existing .matrixrc File to Use New Features

If your .matrixrc file was used in a Matrix Server release earlier than 3.4.0

and has single servers configured, you will need to create a bookmark

entry for the matrix in order to use the “synchronize bookmarks” feature.

To do this, take one of these steps:

• Click the Add button on the Matrix Server Connect window to add a

new bookmark. On the Add Bookmark window, specify a server and

the name of the matrix. (After the bookmark is created, you can delete

the single-server entries in the .matrixrc file.)
