In a Client-Server environment, as of V12.6.2 catalog installation and index administration is possible without a special Admin client (without UNC access).
Up to now the problem occurred if the server had no access to the Internet by security reasons (network firewall) and the client could actually access the Internet, but was not mounted as UNC.
Catalog/classification download and selection on client as before. CIPs are transferred to the server (https) and the server installs the CIPs.
Index administration via Web access.
If you don't get access, please check the Log On server configuration in Services. See Section 3.4.3, “AppServer Configuration ”.
If you are missing the right to use the application, check it on server-side in PARTadmin under category Application Server > Rights administration > tabbed page Assign rights.
The logged in user or group has to have the right Appserver administrator.
