First Start of Client Manager After Install

During the first Client Manager execution after installation, a dialog prompting for two configuration settings appears. This dialog allows the user to:

• Choose the supported language to be used when displaying text for information and error messages. The default language is U.S. English.
• Specify if the Userid and Password security data should be stored in the Client Manager's configuration files (iefcmn.ini and iefcmn.srv). If the security data is to be stored, the Password field is saved to the files in an encrypted format.

The Client Manager has two files that specify its configuration:

• iefcmn.ini
• iefcmn.srv

If the iefcmn.ini configuration file does not exist during the first startup after installation or if it does exist but does not contain an expected token, you are prompted with a choice for executing the Setup dialog. If you choose to run setup, then the File – Setup dialog is displayed giving you the opportunity to proceed with configuring the Client Manager.

If you decline the prompt or the file already exists, the Client Manager automatically exits after the Client Manager Customization dialog has been dismissed. This is necessary so that any designated configuration setting can be incorporated into the execution of the Client Manager. Subsequent executions will not require this first start configuration step.
