IntentSessionManager Windows Service

The first purpose of this windows service is to map sessions from the web service client to processes running Intent. A web application (server side) can consume the WCF service implementing IntentServices, which it hosts, or a SOAP or RESTful pass-through service can consume it remotely (client side).

The second purpose of this windows service is to host another WCF service which implements the Intent Management Service contract. This service provides the ability to configure the server that the instance of IntentSessionManager runs on, and to monitor Intent Services activity on the server.

Configure Intent Session Manager Service

You can modify the endpoint configuration of the service in the <install directory>\IntentSessionManager.exe.config file. The TCP endpoint is commented out for security reasons. You can uncomment it to use TCP. In addition, specify the server name, and change the port number to a port that is open on the firewall of the machine, or open port 8733. Do not make changes to other settings in this file.

Inventor ETO Services User Account

The Inventor ETO Server installer creates an account for a user called InventorETO Services. The IntentSessionManager windows service logs on with this account. The default password is ETOServices123!@#. To change the password, run the Microsoft Management Console, and then do the following:

• Open the Computer Management snap-in, and in Local Users and Groups->Users, right-click InventorETOServices, and click Set Password.
• In Services and Applications->Services, double-click the IntentSessionManager service, select the Log On tab, update the password, and restart the service.
