Modify the Cobra.WinUI.Exe.Config File in the Workstation Folder (netTcpBinding Transport Level)

Use this procedure to modify the Cobra.WinUI.exe.config file on each client workstation that connects to the Cobra application server in order to use the netTcpBinding Transport level authentication.

You must perform this procedure on each client workstation that connects to the Cobra application server.

To edit the Cobra.WinUI.exe.config file in order to use the netTcpBinding Transport level authentication:

  1. Navigate to the Cobra installation directory and open the Workstation folder (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Deltek\Cobra\Workstation).
  2. Locate the Cobra.WinUI.exe.config file and open it using a text editor (such as Notepad).
  3. Change the configuration file settings to conform to the protocol required by the Cobra application server.
    1. Change the address protocol value for each endpoint from http to net.tcp.
    2. Change the binding value for each endpoint from customBinding to netTcpBinding.
    3. Change the binding configuration value for each endpoint from compressedBinaryBinding to WindowsClientOverTcp.
    4. Uncomment the netTcpBinding section.
    5. Change the netTcpBinding security mode from Message to Transport.
    6. Uncomment the identity tag on both endpoints.
