Deploy Configuration Files for Windows Authentication with a New Installation

If you plan to use Windows authentication, you must deploy the client configuration files, which contain security changes, after you install Cobra on an n-tier server.

To update client configuration files when you install Cobra for the first time:

  1. Navigate to the Cobra Installation directory where the Cobra client configuration files reside. The default installation location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Deltek\Cobra.
  2. Edit the  Cobra.WinUi.exe.config and Cobra.api.exe.config files as needed.
  3. Copy the client configuration files you edited in the Cobra folder into the shared workstation folder.
    This is the folder that was created by the Cobra installer. It is where Cobra client installers are saved for distribution to end-user machines.
    Future server upgrades will transfer the Cobra.WinUi.exe.config and Cobra.api.exe.config files from the Cobra folder on the server to the shared workstation folder.
