Configure SOAP communication between InDesign server and censhare Render Client

If more than one Render-Client runs in one system, SOAP communication between InDesign Server and censhare Render-Client is required to provide a dedicated InDesign Server instance for each environment. To launch multiple instances of a specific InDesign Server version an InDesign Server multi-instance license is required.

Prerequisites

• properly installed Adobe InDesign Server

• Logged on to censhare Render-Client

Autostart

With the autostart feature the censhare Render-Client is able to start/stop/restart the InDesign Server. For more information, see this autostart parameters cannot be defined by GUI within the Render-Client. How to define autostart as described below. For more information, see here. If possible always use autostart for better stability of the InDesign server.
