Configure Service Parameters (netTcpBinding)
The netTcpBinding configuration provides faster performance than the wsHttpBinding configuration.
To configure the service parameters, complete the following steps:
- Click Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
- Stop the Ideablade Persistence Server service.
- Navigate to the Server subfolder of the Cobra installation folder.
- Locate the ServerService.exe.config file and open it using a text editor (such as Notepad).
-
Update the endpoints to use the security protocol required to enable Windows Authentication.
- Change the address protocol value for each endpoint from http to net.tcp.
- Change the binding tag from customBinding to netTcpBinding.
- Change the binding configuration tag from compressedBinaryBinding to WindowsClientOverTcp.
- Uncomment the netTcpBinding section.
- Change the netTcpBinding security mode from Message to Transport or from Transport to Message.
- Uncomment the identity tags for both endpoints.

Configure application settings to enable Windows Authentication.
- Change the PerformDomainAuthentication setting value from false to true.
- Add a list of domain groups to the Role setting to only allow members of those groups to access Cobra.
