Configuring the Milestone Management Server Address

Boring API, Boring Milestone Proxy, and Boring Live Monitoring must be configured with the correct Milestone Management Server address.

This is configured using the ManagementServerUri setting in each application's appsettings.json file.

Application Configuration Paths

Update the appsettings.json file in each applicable folder:

• Boring API
  C:\ProgramData\The Boring Lab\Boring API
• Boring Milestone Proxy
  C:\ProgramData\The Boring Lab\Milestone Proxy
• Boring Live Monitoring
  C:\ProgramData\The Boring Lab\Live Monitoring

Update the Configuration

Open the appsettings.json file and add or update the Milestone section:

{
  "Milestone": {
    "ManagementServerUri": "https://server-address"
  }
}

Replace server-address with the address of the Milestone Management Server.

For example:

{
  "Milestone": {
    "ManagementServerUri": "https://milestone.example.com"
  }
}

If appsettings.json Does Not Exist

Create a new file named:

appsettings.json

Use the following basic configuration:

{
  "Milestone": {
    "ManagementServerUri": "https://server-address"
  }
}

If Other Settings Already Exist

If the Milestone section is being added after another section, make sure the preceding section ends with a comma ,.

Example:

{
  "ExistingSection": {
    "ExampleSetting": "Value"
  },
  "Milestone": {
    "ManagementServerUri": "https://server-address"
  }
}

HTTPS Requirement

For Milestone sites with encryption enabled, ManagementServerUri must use HTTPS.

Example:

https://milestone.example.com

For sites without encryption enabled, use the protocol configured for the Milestone Management Server.

Restart Services and Recycle the Application Pool

After saving the configuration changes, restart the following Windows services:

• Boring Live Monitoring
• Boring Milestone Proxy
• Boring Service Host

Then, in IIS, recycle the following application pool:

• BoringLabService AppPool

This ensures all Boring components reload the updated configuration.

Verification

1. Launch Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

2. Navigate to:

   https://server-address/BoringToolbox

   Replace server-address with the address of the management server.

3. Attempt to log in to Boring Toolbox.
4. Confirm that the login succeeds and Boring Toolbox loads normally.
