Ladies, Gents.

Whats the best method to distribute the project among colleagues for them to log into on their computer? We also want to share the project with clients.

Currently for test purposes I give them the Host IP address, they then download the client launcher, add the IP address again and they see a list of projects.

We don’t want to let the client see the ignition back end web page or what projects are available. Is it possible to just send them a direct link to the project since web start has been disabled?

Thankyou.
