Clients
From the Clients tab, the server administrator can control which client machines have access to the job queue server. View the Registered Clients list to see which clients currently have access to the server. Export the server certificate to enable access from the client side.
The list shows all Registered Clients for which you added certificates via the Add Clients... option.
Export my Certificate
Clicking Export my Certificate opens a file browser dialog. Save the server certificate file, username@hostname_cert.pem, to the machine. Then, transfer the file to all client machines and select Add Servers. Alternatively, you can access the certificate file directly under the JobSystem/id/ folder, as described here.
Add Clients
Click Add Clients..., then select the certificates of all the clients you transferred to the server machine in the file browser that opened. After clicking Open, the clients will appear in the Registered Clients list. To manually add a client, copy the client certificates to the JobSystem/clients/ folder on the server machine. Then, click Refresh List to see the client in the list.

Warning! When the server grants access to a client, the client is granted permissions and may gain broad access to the server machine. For instance, Python scripts can be executed via GeoDict, which could potentially access sensitive resources. To maintain security, we strongly recommend setting up a dedicated "functional" user account on the server. This allows for better control and monitoring of client access. Never grant server access to unauthorized or unverified users. Doing so may pose a security risk. |
Remove Selected Clients
Select one or more clients from the list, then click Remove Selected Clients... to delete their corresponding client certificates from the server machine. These clients will then no longer be able to access the server. Note that the server machine itself is always a registered client, so you cannot remove its certificate from the list. A warning message will appear if you try to remove your own certificate.
|
Note! When you update your GeoDict version (e.g., from 2025 to 2026) the program will automatically check the clients and servers folders of the old version for certificates and ask if you want to import them to the new version. |
