Multistation environment

When the user (or several users) is supposed to work on several computers, the user accounts for all users (along with stored passwords) should be the same for all users everywhere. This can be achieved by having the same clarity.psw file in the Cfg directory of the Clarity station (C:\CLARITY\Cfg by default) on all computers.

The clarity.psw file changes only in two cases - either when a new user is added to the user list or when the current user changes his/her password.

Caution:

It is only necessary to ensure that the user accounts used are the same on all computers, in other words do so only after a change was made in the User Accounts dialog (adding user, modifying user's rights, ...). Ensuring that the file is the same after the password change may help the comfort of the users, but is not required.

As the whole Clarity installation directory should be inaccessible to normal users, the system Administrator should be supposed to copy this clarity.psw file to all other computers with Clarity in multistation environment.

Note:

The clarity.psw file is saved and modified when the Clarity station is closed. Therefore it is necessary to copy the file into the root directory only when Clarity is not running.
