Configuring the connection to Meridian Enterprise Server

Meridian Enterprise can connect to a Meridian Enterprise Server computer to share a number of services in common:

In Meridian Enterprise Administrator, select EDM Server in the left pane and then click Properties on the Action menu. The EDM Server Properties dialog box appears.
Click the Settings tab. The Meridian Enterprise Server connection options appear.
Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.
Click OK.
Restart the EDM Server service.

Changes to the users and groups can be made from either application. For information on managing users and groups in Meridian Enterprise Server, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide.
Use Enterprise server for the audit log	If enabled, Meridian Enterprise actions will be logged to the audit log database in Meridian Enterprise Server running on the computer specified for the Enterprise Server web server option instead of in a separate database. The actions are combined with the Meridian Enterprise Server actions that are also logged. For information on managing the Meridian Enterprise Server audit log, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide.
