Customization with dialog interface

• General Preference

  Font: Defines the size of the font in Tahiti window. The change of the setting becomes effective immediately.

  List View: Defines the order of the Aglet items in the list box of the Tahiti window. The change of the setting will be reflected after clicking one of the items on the list box.

  Startup: You can specify an aglet that automatically starts up when Tahiti is started. (The Launch Startup Aglet check box enables this function.)

  Cache Control: Clearing up the class cache.

  User Information: Update registered user information. You can check and modify user name and its profile, which are registered in Tahiti and referred to by aglets as the properties of the AgletContext.

  

• Network Preference

  Http Tunneling: In case you are protected by a firewall, you can specify a http proxy server to access the information at the outside of the firewall. We call this method as Http Tunneling. Check Use HTTP Proxy and Specify your http proxy information like a setting in a world wide web browser. 

  Subscription: - Sorry. This is under construction. -

  Authentication: This is a switch for security options. When you enable Authentication, Tahiti have to keep at least one secret file. Tahiti can communicate with each other only if the other aglet server has (can access) the same secret file.

  Accept HTTP Request as a Message: We can create an aglet, which has a URL and returns html. When we enable this option, aglets receives HTTP request as a message.
